      We're going to try an experiment. Our full iOS + Computer Science course (30 weeks) + a MacBook you can keep + free housing in San Francisco for the full 30 weeks. You pay $0 until you're making $50k+, then 17% of salary for 3 years, capped at $40k. We'll select 10 students.

      If you'd like to take this offer, email experiment@lambdaschool.com and send a few paragraphs as to why you think you'd be a good fit, and why Lambda School should bet on you.

      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.

          Why offer to bundle "housing" if your classes are from a remote location? Computers are very cheap, $500 or less. In the grand scheme of "getting paid only if someone is making 50k", why do you care about a $500 expense?

          Because not everyone has that money lying around. You can also take the course without a computer and housing, and it’s cheaper.

          It's just confusing to offer "free housing in San Francisco" for something in a remote location. Why not choose London, Paris, or some other irrelevant unrelated location. If people don't have the money lying around then why MacBooks and San Francisco housing? No caviar?

          The model seems straight out of some body shops that operate in India. The only difference I see is that these guys make the students shell out for training too.

          What a nice idea. Can it be put across to Nigeria? Thanks

          You guys are killing it, man. So stoked to see you trying new ways to get the training out.
