RocketU is closed
This school is now closed. Although RocketU is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and RocketU alumni reviews on the school page.
According to the RocketU website: Unfortunately, RocketSpace is no longer able to offer our developer education program due to requirements of the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education.
RocketU helps top-performing entrepreneurs and tech professionals learn coding languages and tools necessary for today's modern applications. RocketU is perfect for entrepreneurs with a product idea, developers eager to fast-track their career, or weekend warriors that want to become codemasters. RocketU is housed in the RocketSpace campus in San Francisco alongside 175 of the hottest startups in the world, and graduates of the program will receive world-class professional career development, job placement support, and access to RocketU's alumni network. RocketU offers a 12-week, on-campus developer bootcamp where students will learn advanced HTML & CSS, JavaScript, advanced web technologies, Python, MVC framework, data modeling, product development, communications and self-development.
As with all bootcamps, you get what you put in.
Pros:
- It gave me a structured schedule to force myself to learn. This led to reading a ton and learning ReactJS.
- Worked on awesome projects with some great people.
- Met people with diverse backgrounds. For my final project, the two other members came from very different places (A math major graduate and an entrepreneur from Hong Kong ). Also met some people that I'm sure I'll maint...

- Met people with diverse backgrounds. For my final project, the two other members came from very different places (A math major graduate and an entrepreneur from Hong Kong ). Also met some people that I'm sure I'll maintain contact with.
- Web dev is interesting to learn and Django is an awesome framework.
Cons:
- 12k is super steep
- Instruction period was only 6 weeks and the instruction materials were BAD.
- Not really any job support.
- Besides Suman, who is awesome, the other instructors gave me bad architecture directions which led to a ton of wasted time. I ended up reaching out for outside help regarding ReactJS and waiting for Suman to show up when I have Django questions.
- You can just Google or ask StackOver flow and get better answers.
- No one there knew front-end best practice.....
- When someone's attending a web dev bootcamp and they say they want to work on graph database or set up machine learning with Hadoop/Hive/what ever...I think the instructors have an moral obligation to curtail the students' focus.
- While most are awesome, some students didn't seem to belong, they ended up wasting a ton of class time and patience.
Me and the other people who went through this bootcamp learned a ton, but we definitely could've learned way more if the instructions were better.
