There are huge advantages to the way Lambda School is structured compared to other American universities.
I've written about this in more depth [1], but while ability is evenly distributed, opportunity is not - and aligning the incentives of the students with the institution is a much better model.
If your choice is risking 100k up front for a college education that doesn't guarantee a good job (and has non-defaultable loans) or paying 30k only if you end up with a software job making more than 50k a year it'll be an easy choice for most people.

- JamesBarney 7y agoWhat do you mean that ability is evenly distributed?
- adrr 7y agoCollege education doesn’t cost $100k. In-state tuition at a public university in California is $15k. You can save money by going to a community college and transferring. With $30k you could do two years at community college and transfer UCLA to get your final degree and that doesn’t include financial aid.
