    Lambda School is trying a small experiment: We're accepting our first student in India. If these small experiments go well we'll likely begin rapid international expansion.

        In the past it’s only been if they pay $10k+ upfront

        So they'll do the course from India, but they'll have to get a job in the US to be able to start paying back tuition? That's very cool, every coding bootcamp / school I know excludes international students from their job guarantee or deferred fees schemes, for obvious reasons.

        No, they’d be getting a job in India

        So we’d certainly make less

        I see. So the minimum they'd have to make to start paying back tuition will be lower, I'd assume. Because it'd be difficult for a new grad without a college degree to make $50k in India.

        My fave thing about this tweet: there some chance that in 10 years, some publication will write "Lambda School is $3b international education company, but its global success can be traced to one small experiment in 2017..."
