20k Upfront for international students. Another hint from the bubble inside the valley and the isolation from the real world that eventually will explode in some way.
- whb07 8y agoCan you expand ? How does one get tuition back if you just leave to xyz country ?
- austenallred 8y agoLambda School is $0 upfront for US citizens, but we can’t yet support a $0 upfront model for folks outside the US yet.
- austenallred 8y agoWe recognize that price point sucks internationally, but until we expand into each market with income verification and regulatory backing we can’t roll out our existing model. We’re working on the UK now, then will begin other countries. I’m really sorry it’s not an attractive offer outside the US yet; we’re only 18 months old and have relatively high costs because we pay expensive instructors a lot. We’ll get there.
- _lpa_ 8y agoYeah, my partner recently had to turn down a place at lambda for this reason. Hopefully you can sort the UK soon!
- austenallred 8y agoAm open to other payment models internationally in the meantime, but frankly we can only handle a tiny fraction of student demand in the US right now. Sorry it didn’t work for them yet!
- marktangotango 8y agoIt’s a play for federal student loan money pure and simple. Odd that anyone would think otherwise? Edit; non subsidized then?
- austenallred 8y agoWe don’t get and won’t seek federal student loan money. In response to the edit: No Lambda School student has, to my knowledge, ever paid for tuition with a loan of any kind, nor have we ever received any money from the government.
- darkerside 8y agoDoesn't need to be federal loans. The educational loan market is huge, and immune to bankruptcy.
