The University of the People isnt completely free. Students pay an assessment fee at the end of each course ($100 for undergrads, $200 for grad students), plus a one-time $60 application fee.
In all, a four-year bachelors degree would cost $4,060.
Very cool!!!

I get to catch up on all the things I wanted to take but had to fulfill degree requirements instead
Was the broad-based 3 humanities important? Why did I have to take 202 if I only wanted 415?
Did they teach me any skills? Is that what internship was about? because they described it as slaving
to a boss for a grade without criteria. Kitchen 101 would have been more beneficial
