Most likely Udacity will have all those classes for free within another year anyway, with the opportunity to get a certificate that's actually widely recognized. Not trying to knock the UW program, but going to college to learn CS just seems like it's going to become really unnecessary really fast.
It's funny, on the NYC subways the city has now put up ads warning kids against going to college, and telling them to call the hotline to ask if the college is credible before enrolling.
Considering that it's the subway, I'm guessing that it's probably the diploma mills. The last time I took the subway, which, granted, was three years ago, the place was plastered with ads for diploma mills.
It seems like sage advice either way. Going to college certainly has merit if you are there for the right reasons, but blindly going to college because that is what graduating high school students do is a mistake many make. Many of those people would be better off exploring other opportunities.
It's a little ambiguous. It basically says that many colleges are very expensive and none of the students end up getting jobs, so you should call the number to learn what kinds of questions to ask to evaluate whether the college you're considering attending is a scam or not. I wanted to take a picture but there was someone sitting in front of it. The first time I noticed these ads was Friday, I think they're either on the S or the 1.
