Make School

Prior to attending Make School, I attended a traditional University for Computer Science. Long story short, the first impressions I received during my time there were subpar to say the least. As a student studying a technical degree, I appreciate any type of assistance that the program can grant me. Realizing that the program wasn't efficient for my learning experience, I decided to leave and transfer to Make School's Applied CS Program.
Having just started my Make School journey this year, I already have experienced a much better, more efficient Computer Science program than what I have experienced before. This is my experience:
Community: Make School is a very close-knit, cohesive community, prioritizing their students' academic experience and project-based learning. During orientation, they provided us with multiple instructors who guided us with environmental setups prior to starting the courses. Throughout the terms I have experienced, the community (specifically the faculty) is active on the Make School Slack channel to be able to assist student with any help that they ask for. The community is revolved around Computer Science, and so the student vibe and experience is mostly technical, giving you daily experience and exposure to Software Engineering. 
Curriculum: The curriculum is efficiently structured to where a student knowing nothing about programming can succeed and become efficient in a certain field of Computer Science by the time of graduation. Currently, the programs technical concentrations are in iOS programming, Front End Web, Back End Web, and Data Science. Each student starts off with the generic intro classes and then branches off into their chosen concentrations. The curriculum is very project-based, having the students submit various projects throughout each class to showcase what they understand and have learned. What I find to be extremely helpful is that the program requires a week long intensive after each term, allowing the students to practice what they have learned in and out of school into a project-based final. The Make School Applied Computer Science program is a 2 year, accelerated program, and so students interested in transitioning and/or applying to Make School have to understand that the curriculum of the traditional 4-year programs will be compiled into 2 years. Saying this, be prepared to work hard and efficient throughout your whole time there.
Instructors/Faculty: The instructors/faculty, in my opinion, are one of the most efficient gems in a student's Make School experience. All of the instructors that I have had so far are brilliant and have had vital working experience as Software Engineers both in and out of Silicon Valley. Their backgrounds are extremely impressive, having had academic and work backgrounds at Columbia University, Google, Microsoft, NFL, UC Berkeley, and numerous others. 
Job Support: Another great gem at Make School. Their Job Support is amazing. Shoutout to Jeff D'Andria for being an awesome human being and being a great mentor to communicate with for job support in Silicon Valley. The students that attend Make School have a higher chance to be able to work for big tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yelp, etc. It is the perfect mixture of Make School's curriculum, community networks, and faculty that allow for this to happen. 
Financial Aid: As a Military Veteran currently waiting for the final processing to use my Education Benefits for tuition, it is hard to judge my thoughts for their financial aid services. As I have not had much experience dealing with their FinAid at this time, I will withhold any comments I have to say in regards to their FinSystem. I will say that their new assistant director for financial aid, Isabelle, has been an amazing, active communicator with me throughout my Make School experience. She is extremely helpful and is actively updating me with my FinStatus. Shoutout to Isabelle for being awesome!
Final thoughts: Make School is an ACCELERATED PROGRAM. As welcoming as the community is, as helpful as the instructors are, as awesome as the curriculum holds, students that are interested in attending Make School have to understand that it is a competitive program that will guide you to succeed, but you also have to work hard. Life doesn't grant you a degree. Life doesn't grant you easy access to a high salary job as a software engineer. It is your motivation and work ethic both in and out of the classroom that will get you there. Make School provides the knowledge, community, assistance, and environment to help you succeed, but you yourself have to be driven enough to reach that goal. If that is truly something you desire, then Make School is the perfect fit for you. 

Should it be called Make School or Fake School?

Make School is located in San Francisco (the city), a once-glamorous and innovative city.
Now it is corrupted by libtard politicians and elite businesses. 
I stepped on human feces going to school by the way.

Coding isn't easy, getting started is! The farther you go into programming, the more math will be required.
This is why colleges teach CS: programming + math + other courses for graduation.
I was one of the top 10 programmers. It was hilarious telling the dean that I wanted to drop out.
She was tearing up a bit probably because investors lost money because of me.

I'm studying a field of engineering while I teach myself CS. ; )

With a very small previous coding skill set, I skipped the explorer track and jumped straight into games. I did the tutorials slower than everyone else, and I felt like I didn't remember much. But once I started working on my own app, with a lot of help from the great games track instructors and looking over the tutorials I've done for guidance, I was back on track in no time. I went from almost no coding experience to having made a game I am pround of and shipping it to the app store in 8 weeks. Everyone was very friendly and there's plenty of food places nearby. Highly recommend.

Yes, Make School is the future of computer science higher education.  And yes, it is debt free. And yes, it has spectacular outcomes.  But you already knew that by visiting the site....So, I am going to say some of the unique aspects Make School provides over any college or bootcamp!

First of all Make School is not a bootcamp.  It is a college program that delivers on providing significant depth into topics but also breadth!  There is a huge focus and expertise in iOS development, but there are opportunities to explore and dive deep into iOT, full stack web development, backend, scripting, AI, design, and many many more technical classes!

While technical classes are great and essential to landing a great development gig - they are not everything...and many schools and bootcamps from my understanding do not dive into other core skills - such as effective communication, productivity, and public speaking.  Make School Product College does not just prepare you to be another engineer - but they give you the tools, knowledge, and practice to be a leader in the industry! 

Another important aspect that Make School delivers on is product development.  We do the most learning through building out complete products - Further, we learn what we should build (how to determine what people want), how we can make money with it, and how to grow the product!  It is awesome to develop the technical skills, but also develop our product minded side of validating ideas, finding market fit, and then building.

The instructors are top notch and we have many industry experts come in to give talks and are available to mentor :)

I can not yet speak to my final outcome - but things look very promising and Make School is teaching us the right methodologies to succeed in finding a job and making all the right introductions at the right time.

At the end of the day - compared to my college experience Make School delivers everything and more:
Breadth + Depth
Product Classes
Industry Experts
