Comparing hacker schools

I typically get asked how we are different (and similar) to other hacker schools, so I have compiled this table below. Each school has its own unique advantages, so no school is "better" than the other, per se. It's dependent on what you're looking for, if the school is a proper fit for you, and what your goals are.

I tried to get this as accurate as possible. There's some discussion open on Hacker News if you have any suggestions or corrections.
