The Harvard Error

Copyright 2009, Frederik Questier and Yanna Van Wesemael
We've already seen that a traditional education can be outrageously expensive and that CLEPing out of many subjects is a low-cost alternative. However, I know what some of you are thinking: Ivy covered walls, a history of excellence, prestigious professors, special clubs--surely there's something that students at prominent universities have that I don't

Ah, but is that true?

Does the name and legacy of a college really give you a better education? What it really comes down to is individual professors and textbooks--not the school itself. There's no guarantee that you will learn more from a class at Harvard than a class at your local community college, online lectures, or a textbook! It's more about you than them. If you're really willing to learn, you can learn just about anywhere! Watch the video below to hear about a student who got a Harvard level education as he studied for a CLEP test!
