GA was one of the best decisions and experiences in my life, mainly due to the amazing leaders here and the community of people that I have met, that will be long lasting relationships. It has certainly enriched my life.
I graduated from the General Assembly UXDI program at the NY campus, in December 2017. I am now 2 weeks into my first full-time UX Designer position and couldn't be happier.

GA was one of the best decisions and experiences in my life, mainly due to the amazing leaders here and the community of people that I have met, that will be long lasting relationships. It has certainly enriched my life.
I graduated from the General Assembly UXDI program at the NY campus, in December 2017. I am now 2 weeks into my first full-time UX Designer position and couldn't be happier.
I had such wonderful and dedicated mentors. I am extremely impressed with the guidance, support, encouragement, communication and opportunities that my GA instructors and career coaches have continuously provided me. I can't thank them enough for helping me transition and advance in my career so seamlessly!
That being said, the course itself is intensive. A lot of work compacted into an accelerated program. It's not for everyone but it was perfect for my situation. I come from a visual design background with 10+ years in marketing so I was looking to solidify my UX design knowledge in practice, to transition in my career. I took a 6 month online course with another school prior but that only wet my appetite. The in class GA UXDI course offered much more guidance and collaborative effort, which made a huge difference for me. The course covers a broad range of topics but there isn't enough time to really put everything to practice before you move onto more material. The projects help solidify concepts. You get as much as you put into it so be sure to ask questions and dig deeper into any topic that you're not strong in.
In terms of professional development, I can't speak for everyone but I receieved great support from them. I was also proactive in communicating with them post course, which I'm sure has an impact on the outcome. My current job was actually reccomended to me by one of the GA career coaches. They were just as proactive in helping me along and now I am in a company and position that I was looking for, as a great starting point to my new career.
