Could you break down that number?

I went to a state school for 6 years and my total (living + textbooks + food + tuition) cost is nowhere near that number.

I believe they're saying that if you were to do that bootcamp for 4 years it would work out to ~1M, i.e. ridiculously more than any college.

I think it'd be 876,000 (36.5K * 6 * 4), but that's beside the point.

I figured 36.5k * 8 * 4 = 1.168m

Oh okay, I misunderstood and thought they meant precisely the opposite. Thanks!
