Yeah i think i'm reading that wrong, but it seems like the students are attempting to study in the country and applying to University through legal means, then getting deported as it's a fake university.
To learn the fundamentals sure. But it completely depends on how you learn, your dedication. What's your end goal? When do you think you will have "learned" programming?
It's a constant learning experience and if you ever stop learning in this subject, i think you're doing something wrong.
I'm clearly missing something here.
