Vigorous, enlightening, Challenging
This class was very difficult and fast paced. It was a amazing course. I learned the basics of a ton of different programs, learned how to find the answers with some research, learned how to continue coding and finding jobs after the course ends, Met amazing people, and learned different paths i could take with this knowledge.Boot Camp Team of Rice University Boot Camps

This class was amazing, and got me through a boundary I never thought I could, or had to grow up wealthy or lucky to achieve. I'm extremely greatful to Ms. Bury, Mr. Garrick, and Mr. Hamilton for all they have done, as well as my fellow students, and the support I have at foster care. This is a milestone that I think well lead me to do great things with my life so that I may do the same for others as well.Boot Camp Team of Rice University Boot Camps

I have learned so much so far and gained real, practical skills I know will translate to success in my career path, and am happy I took this leap of faith to join the Boot Camp. I am excited for the next 8 weeks, to unfold many more possibilities for me and my career and to earn my Certificate of Completion.

I did exhaustive research on Fintech boot camps/classes before choosing Rice University. I concluded it would be the most comprehensive course for the amount of time spent on Fintech subjects.
Academically, it was the most challenging program I've ever taken, and it was worth every penny. The class exceed my expectations, and the instructor was the most thorough and engaging teacher I've met in my adult career.Boot Camp Team of Rice University Boot Camps

Disappointing scheme
The scheme of prestigious universities advertising for bootcamps so that the real player, 2U and its subsidiary Trilogy remain offstage is fishy. Those technical skills that are in high demand such as coding and digital marketing do not depend on the name of the institution, they depend only on your passion, experience and self learning. Unfortunately, those trusted universities are jeopridizing their reputation by putting their logo and name on certificates that have nothing to do with...The scheme of prestigious universities advertising for bootcamps so that the real player, 2U and its subsidiary Trilogy remain offstage is fishy. Those technical skills that are in high demand such as coding and digital marketing do not depend on the name of the institution, they depend only on your passion, experience and self learning. Unfortunately, those trusted universities are jeopridizing their reputation by putting their logo and name on certificates that have nothing to do with them. It's all business and the goal is how to take money from the naive hopeless jobless young people. If you want to learn carpentry for example, and your instructor spends several lessons talking about the different kinds of saws, does that make you a good sawer? No, definitely not. Your instructor can talk about that in less than 30 minutes instead of wasting many hours and you need to see the saw and use it yourself after demonstration in order to be a carpenter. I joined the bootcamp of digital marketing and it was a scam, a big waste of time and money, my expectations crushed, my hopes shattered. Nothing practical is learnt not even email campaigns are brought up. It's all concepts, it's all theories, and the few practical info presented in the bootcamp can be learnt from a one or two short Youtube videos. Believe me if you commit yourself, you can benefit much much more from Youtube and the many other free or cheap resources available online.Boot Camp Team of Rice University Boot Camps

Rice University Digital Marketing Boot Camp used their digital marketing strategies to find me through paid search ads on social media platforms. Every step of the program was challenging from start to finish, and it is an experience that is truly empowering on multiple levels. The incredible support from the entire instructional staff as well as from peers in the cohort throughout the program made completing the course possible. The experience makes one realize that the ultimate success is never achieved alone, but with a team of others working toward the same goal. For any prospective student considering signing up, brace yourself for commitment, dedication and hard work. Follow the recommended guidelines for completing homework assignments in small segments. Remain steadfast and do not ever give up even when it gets hard.
