I think people here sometimes are delusional about the prices of education since everything software-related has almost become a commodity. You can buy a Django/React/whatever course for 9.99 on Udemy. However, there’s an incredible amount of effort which goes into preparing courses in other disciplines.


* people are delusional because colleges are getting away with low quality work, because of the higher barrier of entry for competition compared to something like Udemy.

* People are getting delusional because of both low quality and high price.

Edit: disclaimer: I am a college student at thus I may be biased about what I see here in India. But I assume it is almost universal from other discussions here and on reddit.
