Double? It’s 4-10x the price!That's for "cheaper" universities. Tuition for Ivy League schools can be double that.

Yeah I can do things on a laptop much better and faster then say an iPad just my opinion.Should have given them something useful like an actual laptop with a keyboard. You can't do anything serious on an iPad Air.
So, when is Apple opening their own, free university? Complete with all the Apple stuff you could possibly need, and all Apple curriculum.
In Sweden it's free and you get money to study. 💁♂️ And as a student you're also eligible for a loan with 0.05 % interest to cover living expenses.Hear that US tuition is really expensive, even in Public Institutions, in Canada, it's about $1000-3500/semester for domestic students.
I used an iPad in the classroom during lectures to transcribe and take notes. Don’t forget the novel UI and utility of the Apple Pencil in the classroom either… you can’t do that on a laptop.Yeah I can do things on a laptop much better and faster then say an iPad just my opinion.
You think Apple are donating these for free 🤣🤣🤣no chance they'll be selling these to the university and making a profit on the saleNo cost? Nice of Apple to donate all of that!
Education is more or less turned into a business in countries around the world. Probably the U.S. has the most schools, where this business is particularly flourishing. Actually, everyone who has attended a school might know that.Free?? It will just get hidden in the tuition fee and will be passed on to student loans or parents paying for tuition. There is no free lunch…
Agreed. Luckily some of those schools will get you a job where you make enough to pay that off in a couple of years to pay it off, or the company will pick up a large chunk of that after you work there a couple of years.Those are the cheap ones. Private schools can be as high as $70k or more per year.
Nice pessimistic bias you got there. To go ahead and help you put your ignorance to bed in one fell swoop, UNR’s tuition prices increase at a predictable amount each year, published in advance. That would apply with or without a free iPad for one class level at the college.Free?? It will just get hidden in the tuition fee and will be passed on to student loans or parents paying for tuition.

They had that a while back, AppleU.So, when is Apple opening their own, free university? Complete with all the Apple stuff you could possibly need, and all Apple curriculum.
Right. Spend $1,000 to keep from sending the government $400, or whatever their tax rate would be. Great idea 💡 👍🏼.its called tax break for $pple
imo, they should've gave out base model m1 macbook air. easy way to sucker students into the eco system. students who already have laptops and smartphones would probably just sell that ipad away because ipads are not as mobile as smartphones and not as powerful as laptops.

Wherever you are has tuition fees too. Your government just pay for them with your taxes. No such thing as ”free education”.For a second I thought „cool“ but then I realized the US has tuition fees and so I checked and yep it’s over 8,000$+ per Semester 😳
You mean at no further cost. University raised in-state tuition for 2012-2022 school year by $412 (6.5 percent) and out-of-state tuition by $1,036 (4.7 percent) over 2020-2021 year. With the discount the University is getting from Apple, the "free" products are baked into the tuition increase.As part of the "Digital Wolf Pack initiative," all incoming freshmen that will be attending the university in Fall 2021 will receive an iPad Air, an Apple Pencil, and the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio at no cost.
That entire effort seemed to be started by people who think the high cost of a textbook is just due to the cost of printing.And then they throw in a "free" iPad. Did textbooks on iPad even ever take off? That's the most useful thing I could think of for them, but I know it flopped at launch.
How is $32K over 4 years for something that's going to shape your entire future career overpriced? Esp when you get ultra cheap loans to cover it. Depending on the university and your aptitude, you also get financial aid and scholarships. You just might not get that stuff if you're claimed as a dependent by parents who make too much money, but then they can afford to pay for you; it's still worth.Simultaneously cheap and WAY overpriced. Ah, the wonders of the American higher education system.
The iPad is a great note taking device and most college work is done through online platforms these days so the power isn’t really an issue (depending on what you study of course). Professors are also more accepting of iPads vs open laptops during lecture. As someone who graduated recently if I didn’t need to do programming I could have finished college with just my iPad, especially given the multitasking upgrades that came with ios 11.imo, they should've gave out base model m1 macbook air. easy way to sucker students into the eco system. students who already have laptops and smartphones would probably just sell that ipad away because ipads are not as mobile as smartphones and not as powerful as laptops.
