    Truly Changed My Life

    I was in last ever coding house cohort. It's too bad coding house went belly up. Because it could have really help change a lot of people's lives. It changed mine, I received a job offer before the cohort had ended. I take home roughly $12,000 a month, idk what that is a year, I'm not that good at math. I work my butt off though, overtime and everything. But it's completely up to you on your success. I believe true success from these bootcamps come to people who prepare like their life depend...

    A bold proposition

    Since graduating codinghouse I have realized what a promising career I am in for... e-trade offered me 103k + great benefits, ponopto offered me 40-45 an hour to start which i sort of put on the backburner until I found out more about e-trade... I pretty much focused all of my attention on e-trade for the last 5-6 weeks, building applications for them, having interviews, making presentations.....basically everything I could do to have them create a position for me.... You once told u...

    Coding House Sept-October Review

    First off, let's get one thing out of the way - we all knew something was off when we first joined. When we joined, there was a big absence of the senior cohort (Coding House's program was advertised as using "phase 2" students to mentor "phase 1" students. But all of the students in the phase ahead of us packed up their bags and left, with the exception of 1. We knew it had to do with their disatisfaction with the program and their frustrations with owner Nick James and teacher C.N., but ...

    Physical threats from staff

    Pros:

    - Classmates where amazing and I love them. A great bond is created.

    - Great monitors.

    Cons:

    - Lies about curriculum, lies about instructors experience (great guys).

    - People get charged different amounts for education, unethical.

    - No job assistance, no partnerships (all lies).

    - Everyone feels cheated.

    - Cramped space

    - Lack of communication.

    - Physical threats by members of the staf...

    Very Shady Bootcamp with Subpar Instruction

    I attended Coding House in February 2016 and can confirm everything Nicolas D states in his review below. Illegal housing operation, amateur instruction from lead instructors with less than 1 year (or even 6 months) with the frameworks being taught... everything in that review is sadly true. I took months of work as well as a scholarship to a real top grade bootcamp after Coding House to land a job - Coding House is basically a 20k cost program that offers instructors less qualified than t...

    A house where you can code

    As a recently graduated student, I'd say my experience has been neutral with Coding House. It's a space where you can learn and will be left to your own devices a lot of the time, and while the instructors are nice, I wouldn't say they are experts by any stretch of the imagination. The living situation was pretty cramped and definitely had some issues, but I will give CH an overall satisfactory rating because they did provide a house, and I did spend a lot of time c...

    Satisfied, but Room for Improvement

    While no program is perfect, and Coding House certainly has many areas in which it can improve, I found the program to be decent. Instruction during the first seven weeks was enthusiastic, but delivered by a teacher with very limited coding experience, particularly with React.js. Instruction during the second half of the program is scarce, and the majority of the day will be spent basically living in the house and coding either on your own or with your team members. I recommend this progra...

    It Has Changed - Don't Go Here

    Scammy.

    I graduated from CH this year. Most of what Anonymous said on 3/12/2016 is true. Not a single person teaching or running this program has worked a single day in the industry. All the partnerships they claim to have mean nothing more than they shook the hand of someone at a tech meetup. 

    In my cohort, we had one on-site visit and three tech professionals come do workshops. We also had a Computer Science major talk to us, mostly consisting of hi...

Most programming bootcamps describe themselves as “immersive,” with students spending up to 80 hours per week in front of their computer screens and in lecture, learning to code. Coding House takes this immersive model one step further, setting their cohorts up in a house during their 8-week tenure at the program.   More time to code should equate to better coders, right? But we’ve seen The Real World , and had a few questions for Coding House ...
