I got a 50% scholarship to the online full stack web development course at Flatiron, but I'm unsure if it's worth the cost?<p>For the past month or so I've been working on their community bootcamp which has been good so far. And I believe my progress on there is why I was offered a scholarship.<p>I don't care about the job guarantee + I don't qualify for it because I'm 18.<p>Would appreciate your opinions on the school and their curriculum. I am aware of the lawsuit against them.
It does not really matter whether or not the internet gives or withholds permission. There is no generic answer and there is no certainty regarding whether one choice is better or worse for a particular individual. In the end, it is just a matter of personal choice.<p>Do you have the money?<p>What would you do instead with your time?<p>Why do you want to study at Flatiron versus an alternative?<p>Do you feel like you are learning something?<p>Keep in mind that Flatiron is a for profit company. The cost of delivering an online course can be very low (which is why early MOOC's could be free) and the list price without the 50% scholarship is a way of anchoring a high price so that 50% off looks like a bargain. I suspect that in six months, a similar discount will still be available.<p>Good luck.
