I wish them success but college without the usual trappings of college exists. It's called co-working space.
I spent a few months in a co-working space partly to learn new language more efficiently and partly to get out of the fall-into-lazy-mode-when-in-home mode when I didn't have a full time job.
As I was sitting there typing away on my Macbook Pro, reading manuals, watching tutorials on youtube, and feeding off of the intense energy of fellow 'coworkers', it hit me that the ambiance was much like being in a library in college. It felt much like being in a library when I was in college and even better, there was no restriction on food/coffee/beverage. I felt like I was in college again. And I could walk away from my computer without worrying about someone stealing it during the 5 min I was gone.
And I was paying only $300 a month (although I thought it was a bit over priced...). I recall I was paying nearly $10,000 a year (many years ago though) just for tuition. And I don't know about most of you but as a student of a large public university system, I had barely any useful interaction with actual professors.
I really think for someone young with enough time, discipline and motivated to work in the internet/tech industry, having one year membership in co-working space would do wonders. And it barely costs $3600/year plus your normal living cost (which would be free if you stayed with parents).
