You can already get a world-class education for free, all you need to do is to walk into your local library, check out the books that are on the reading list for the courses that constitute a 4-year undergraduate degree. Then, read each chapter three times. Then, solve the problems at the end of the chapter.
This will cost you roughly $0.
What you can't get is world-class instruction for free.
- temporarara 4y agoIn many universities the instruction you are given is generally pretty lame. Outstanding courses exist in most unis but most of the time you get very little personal help. It's just how it is, and one of their goals is trying to teach you to become able to learn by yourself by working through those books. I think the most important thing they offer is a structure. Not just random courses but ideally some clear buildup for coherent knowledge.
