    Half of my notifications: “Lambda School just won’t be an attractive option in the EU, we already have cheap college.” The other half: “OMG I’ve been waiting for this day for two years, me and 5 friends are dying to join!”

        The trickier part is probably to find a salary level where you can start charging, as $50k is more than college grads get in much of EU... but your teachers will be cheaper there too

        For UK students: A) Uni for 3 years (cost £9K/yr), then compete for jobs with a low pay B) Lambada for 30 weeks, near-instant paid work & work experience When the uni graduate starts applying for jobs, the Lambada fellow already has multi-year work experience & well-paying job.

        For what it's worth, uni is free in Scotland. I agree with your point though, I studied at a code camp in Edinburgh. 16 weeks then got a job after. 3 years down the line I'll have learned a lot on the job. Lambda is a great project, be interesting to see how it goes in the EU.

        The price of a college has no correlation to its quality. Be it cheap or expensive, the vast majority of colleges are poorly designed, and too, have zero awareness of how to get a student hired, let alone a vested interested in doing so.

        speaking as an oxford CS graduate, it was cheap (kinda) but it was also bad. professors reading slides in monotone. mistakes in exam papers. weird, niche technology made by the professors even when real things with the same properties existed.

        oxford (if not other schools too) is a bundling of a poor education and a debatably valuable credential with a fairly valuable residential experience and a quite-selective admissions process. if this sounds like a cartel, i don’t disagree.

        You'll do super well in the EU, that's bollocks. I mean I'm helping someone and she ended up *not* doing a £10k bootcamp partly bc of the cost - when you're not in tech 10k is a lot.

        I may not fully agree (or perhaps fully understand) your stance on traditional unis, but I'll be damned if I don't help you however I can since tech very much needs your kind of school and there are enough half-assed attempts at it.

        Yup. Had a student in Germany in the UX precourse. She said she could get it free, but not at this pace. She did not feel she had 4 years to begin a career.
