It sounds like you agree with the ISA concept but are only unhappy with the price. I'm guessing the terms are this way to discourage the less motivated.

- tempsy 7y agoIf I drop out of college in a given quarter, I only owe tuition for that quarter. This is like dropping out my first quarter in college and owing my university 5 quarters of tuition. No I don’t really like ISAs and personally would never do one myself.
- QuadmasterXLII 7y agoIf you drop out of a two-quarter college in the first quarter, you only owe the first quarter (50%) which is roughly equivalent
- tempsy 7y agoA four year university is 12 quarters. There is no such thing as a 2-quarter degree as far as I’m aware. Potentially this is more equivalent to a 2-year associates degree, which would be 6 quarters.
- notafraudster 7y agoI mean Lambda School is the equivalent of a 2 quarter college program. Everyone understands how fractions work -- the push back is that people don't think the fraction analogy you're using makes sense here. I teach a 10 week program and students who drop out 4 weeks in are offered an option to return to complete during the next offering but are on the hook for the full program costs. This does not mean I think someone who drops out of college after 1.5 years should have to pay for 4 years. It's not the same situation.
- tempsy 7y agoNo it's not. Even the CEO has said the amount of hour is equivalent to a 2-year program. Traditional college courses meet for a few hours a week. This is a 9-month all day program.
