One thing to note: you must be a US Citizen. Unfortunately we don’t qualify for student visas.

Also, since this is the first time a lot of people are hearing about Lambda School: The education is still a live remote education, so you can attend from anywhere. This experiment is bundling in awesome housing and a computer and us paying for it all upfront.

If we’re not paying for housing or computer etc. it’s 17% for *two* year’s capped at $30k. You still don’t pay unless you’re making $50k+. You can do that from anywhere in the US, but it’s a full-time course for 30 weeks.

this sounds extremely suspiciously like
@LearnersGuildUS which exploited its students and then folded -
I know Learners Guild folded, but how did they exploit the students? I don't know the backstory
-
I can dm you or email you a longer explanation if you'd like, but the short and sweet of it was marketing towards minorities who had no other option and then having no real curriculum or support structures in place for us after claiming otherwise
-
Ah. So basically was just a bad school.
-
More or less, yes. It felt very much like a quick cash grab for them. By the time we realized it we were already signed to contracts and had to make the best of it
-
Ya, check our reviews or curriculum or instructors. Clearly not that.

Any chance of remote/online courses in the future? Older students will have family/kids. 30 weeks is a long time to be away.
-
All of our courses are remote/online!
-
Then why the 30 week housing in SF?
-
Because paying for housing for 30 weeks without a full time income is hard to do
-
True. Im looking through a 40 year old lens rather than a 25 year old one. Where can i see the pricing or payback structure?
-
Option 1: $20k upfront Option 2: $0 until you’re making $50k+, then 17% of salary for 2 years, capped at $30k
-
In your fist tweet you said 3 year’s capped at $40k. Which is correct?
-
Depends on if you’re living in our housing and getting a free computer or not

Capped at 40k total?
-
So 17% the first 4 14% the last?
-
17% 17% 17%, but if you ever hit $40k you’re done
-
So if you end up making over 78.4K an year than you won’t have to pay for the entire 3 years.
