#2Their title is misleading. You are not guaranteed a job, just a refund of tuition if you fail to get a job. Still, this is a lot more than your average university will guarantee you.

#4"Udacity will help you find you a job (as defined in the program Terms and Conditions) at a partner company, land you a paying internship, or secure for you the opportunity to make money through Udacity’s global mentorship or freelancing programs. We will achieve this within six months of your graduation date, or refund your full tuition."
Paying Iinternship or "freelancing programs" is a bit slippery. You freelanced once that is a job! This being said Udacity should be commended for taking a step forward and putting money up in a way to back up their service.

#5Here are the four Nanodegrees that are eligible for the Nanodegree+ program: Android Developer, iOS Developer, Machine Learning Engineer, and Senior Web Developer.
The name scheme is interesting because it tells you what you will become rather than what you will learn. The ML and Web Developer Nanodgrees are pretty new, but we already have reviews for the first two:

Just fyi, he is correct and that is the relevant text.

Isn't that what a guarantee is? They are giving you a guarantee which in this case is getting a job (or your money back).

Yeah. It is really saying "One of our partners will take you for something" without any real guarantee the results are in line with the expectation of the student.
Then again, Udacity is really trying to be a Software Dev Technical School so that is par for the course imo.

#9I'm really fond of Holberton's tuition scheme, where you pay 25% of your salary for two years after graduation. In this scheme, everyone is incentivized to help the student get a high paying job, so the school simply can't become a degree factory.

#10Sounds good, so long as they don't pull what some bootcamps do, which is hire former students
