12 weeks + whatever amount of time a student spent learning the material before attending, since Codesmith doesn't accept complete beginners. On top of that, the 12 weeks entails 12-hour sessions, 6 days a week. Where as at a University, maybe your data structures class is twice

My university was 25 hours a week classroom time and 40 of homework/projects but 3 semesters a year and summers were off to do research or internships.
I was commuting from home an hour a day each way, no remote classes, no recordings, and it was absolutely draining. I woke up at 5am and went to bed at 10pm, I worked all weekend, people thought I had problems haha and I didn't have any friends or do any hobbies. I read school stuff on the elliptical everyday for an hour, and I did scorekeeping for hockey on Sunday nights where I did homework in the box while doing it.
But other programs are way less intense and way more expensive so this is an exception case.... in the same way that Codemsith is a special program for special people and not something that anyone can just sign up for and make $100K
