$20,000 is about half of what my 4 year college education cost (although it's more expensive now, certainly). That seems incredibly expensive for a bootcamp. I'm obliged to ask what on earth that money is going towards, besides directly into somebody's pockets.
> Another observation, most people who get in, are already qualified people, with top university degrees.
I'm afraid to ask how large their student loans could be, this bootcamp included.
- ryanSrich 10y agoWhen did you graduate? Between 2009 and 2013 my college cost was roughly $40k per year. This was about the average for similar schools (RIT). My wife went to a small liberal arts school during the same time and spent roughly $50k per year. $20k seems like an incredible bargain, but my view is probably warped.

- MattyRad 10y ago2009-2013 as well, (accredited) state school (of which I am a resident), cost me a little less than $10,000 per year for a Computer Engineering degree. However, my junior year, engineering classes level 300 and above increased by 25%, continually increasing per year until they were 100% more expensive. I narrowly dodged that bullet. Perhaps the west coast is cheaper? $50,000 per year seems like lunacy to me.

- b_t_s 10y agoThere are plenty of state schools where 30 grand or so will get you a BS in CS. 15 years ago when I went that route it only cost 20k. That makes 20k for what's effectively one semester seem pretty pricy. Still I suppose it's the same as a semester at a expensive private college.
