From what I've seen, there's some mentality among current students to keep your head down so you don't get kicked out for criticizing it before you land the job. Also, it's probably more like 40% or less new grads, it seems to mainly be people changing careers right now. Bootcamps are a bit less than "glamorous" now, and the pandemic shook things up for a lot of people, especially coming from retail/restaurants/small businesses.
Keep in mind that unlike most products, Lambda School purchasers have an incentive to praise Lambda School regardless of the truth.
These are all young people looking to jump start their careers with the benefit of a glamorous Lambda School education. They don’t benefit by publicly admitting that it wasn’t a good education, or by cooperating with journalists to post national headlines about how their only credentials in this industry came from a bad program.
