The Best Decision!
Read more Read less of Sharanya Banavar's review
I took this bootcamp six months after getting my undergraduate degree in Mathematics because I didn't have the skills I needed to the job I wanted. This was after declaring that I wouldn't go back to school for at least 2 years! I am so happy I went back on that declaration! The six months that I spend learning coding were so fun! I learnt so much and had a phenomenal support team. The skills I learnt in the bootcamp help me greatly in my current job (which I absolutely love doing!) and I'm so thankful to my instructor and my TAs for all the help they provided me!

Best Career Decision I Have Made
Read more Read less of Richard Debrah's review
I was looking for a career change and decided to go into programming after my research in many career options. Rutgers Coding Bootcamp had the best learning and career pathways and i do not regret a dime i spent with them.
My instructor was the best and so are the other instructors.. They all have an open door policy and with a great learning and teaching environment so you do not feel left out. I learnt so much and when it came to opportunities they offered it to me as it came.
They provide you the materials and the rest is for you to work hard to put it together. That encouraged me a lot and boost my confidence to. They have internal opportunities such as teaching assistants and tutoring that helped individuals like me to return a teaching and learning favor to others.
I owe my knowledge and current job to the career services team who provided me with the tools i need to succeed on the job market whether looking for a job or going through an interview process.Boot Camp Team of Rutgers Bootcamps

Amazing Experience

I had wanted to learn to code for a while, and decided to research some classes and liked the idea of taking an intense 3-month course to learn web development.
It was money well spent, the class is extensive, teaching various technologies and languages like HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Node.js, SQL, MongoDB, and React.
Beyond that the professor and staff are amazing, always working with you to achieve your goals, it is truly an amazing experience to be in such an amazing environment to learn and challenge yourself.
If you are interested in web development and want to challenge yourself and have an amazing learning experience I would highly recommend Rutger's Coding Bootcamp.

Full Stack Web Development
Read more Read less of Dan Lewis's review
A full-time 15 week program that primarily focuses the MERN stack(as of Feb 2018) to build full-stack web applications. The course provides a structured learning experience that will help students learn what goes behind creating and deploying web development projects.
The program was absolutely great. I learned a great deal within 15 weeks, but that being said it should be noted it is primarily the responsibility of the student to make sure they are sucessful. Treat this experience as a full-time job. Be sure to do the course pre-work as well as maybe a bit more(there are plenty of prep courses if you google them) to make sure you are not drowning in the material when the program begins.
Not everyone will be on the same level as you when you enter the course. Some have experience, some do not so it helps if you get yourself up to speed. This is that so during the course, time isnt wasted on getting your computer set up and learning GIT so you can really get into the meat and potatoes of the course.
Time is valuabe in this course. The more time you put in, the better the results. Know that part of being a web developer is to be able to learn things on the fly, on your own.
That being said, I wish that this program offered direct placement for those who did put the time in and did exceptionally well. It is not the direct fault of the career services staff because they have been nothing but helpful given the tools that they have. I would say however the structure of the relationship between the course and the career services is a bit distant. This should be much more clear cut before a student commits their money to this course. The price of this course is reasonable, but know there is no job placement. Career services does help with their resume assistance, job leads, and great bi-weekly video conference meetings along with positive renforcement.
Overall. This is a great course due to the agility to adapt to the everchanging industry, but it comes with the territory that you are getting to working level when there is much more underneath the surface. Learn as much as you can independently and stay focused on achieving the goal that you set for yourself.Boot Camp Team of Rutgers Bootcamps

Thank you for your review, Dan! We are thrilled you were able to learn the fundamentals of full-stack web development and enjoyed our structured learning experience. You're right that a great deal of course material is covered in a short amount of time, so the more time you put in, the better your results will be. We understand you would have preferred a closer relationship between the course and career services and appreciate your feedback as we're constantly modifying our professional development assistance to best prepare students. We commend all your hard work and commitment to such a rigorous program. Congratulations on graduating and we wish you all the success moving forward! -

This program is really hard and it is really important. If you take this seriously, and stay on task and keep learning outside the classroom and keep pushing on, you will really be set up to understand programming. I am coming from virtually NO programming experience. Full disclosure, I do have a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. However, we did not learn any coding. I did understand servers but the way they teach that small portion at the end anyone will leave understanding servers just like I did. I did not know the in-depth things I know now about servers, like running them. This is an amazing class and it is worth it. It was super hard and you have to be willing to put in the extra time on your own. I was doing free coding camp, Udemy courses and reading Javascript books during the class. I was watching a lot of YouTube Videos and rewatching our class videos. If you want to learn to be a full stack or front-end developer, definitely worth it. My instructor, Alex R and my student success manager, Funda, were amazing. The student assistants were amazing too. I honestly will miss class. We are still connected through slack and still have support. People are still asking our teacher for coding support after we've graduated and bless his soul he is still responding! Lol. They will help you get your portfolio, github and career search together.

I have a background in IT but I changed careers 13 years ago. I spent 13 years in a completely unrelated and non technical industry. At some point I realized I had no career path left to me. I decided I wanted to go back to technology, and a bootcamp would be the best way to re-invigorate my skills in technology. I always wanted to learn to properly code(i was mostly self tau\ght prior), and I always hated traditional courses teaching programming languages - they focused too much on making the language perform math calculations, instead of making it actually DO SOMETHING! Make something move! Make something happen! keep me interested!
This program did precisely that, it kept me challenged, interested, and I had a BLAST! My instructor Alex was incredible. My TAs Arron, Christian, and Tammar were incredible. My student success manager (Juanita) was perhaps the most inspiring out of anyone. She was brilliant, engaged, and always caring and fun.
I felt so blessed to be part of such an awesome program. After graduating I joined the tutorial team, and that really accelerated my learning. Eventually I would become a Senior Tutor, and I gave over 400 tutorials to over 80 different students. I made contacts around the country just by teaching that will likely stay with me for the rest of my life.
I had been applying and interviewing for about 7 months solid, and it has been about 6 months since graduation. I never stopped applying, but I j applying to EVERYTHING, and just started applying to things I *wanted*.I received a job prospect from Career Services for a Technical Project Manager, I have a wide variety of skills, so I said "what the heck" and asked to be put on the list of candidates. The employed contacted me a few weeks later and asked if I would be interested in a Senior Developer position. I had no problem with that! I proceeded through two interviews, one by phone, and one over Zoom, followed by a coding challenge. I spent a lot of time and effort on the coding challenge, and I made SURE to document my work. I took it about 5 steps further: I had to solve a problem, and submit code to fix it. I solved the problem, built a front end for it in React, deployed it to firebaseapp for hosting, performed unit testing to prove I solved the problem, and made a very detailed readme file explaining how to use the file, how to install it, how the pieces worked, and the outcome and code for the unit testing.
The employer was extremely impressed with my level of detail and documentation skills, communication skills (a lot of which I learned while tutoring!), and my ability to go above and beyond what was asked. They made an offer withing 3 days of my submission of my coding test. I accepted the offer. I can only say it feels like a dream job - it's EXACTLY what I was looking for - a diverse and challenging environment, fully remote position, and amazing and supportive managers and coworkers.

Career change
Read more Read less of Joe Logue's review
So, one day I was at work checking my e-mail when I saw an ad for the Rutgers coding boot camp. I had always wanted to get into coding but didn’t think afford the traditional route of a 4-year degree. After learning more about the boot camp I decided to take the risk. The full-time course was the most mentally challenging thing I have undertook. I cannot say enough good things about my instructor Franklin. Not only did he inspire us to keep going, I always felt like he genuinely cared about us succeeding. I gained a great foundation for which to build upon and continue learning. This model of class will only work if you are motivated to succeeded and requires lots of time out of class dedicated to furthering what you learned the day prior. Initially I had some worries about the career services part of the deal, mainly the “profile coach” as they were called felt remote distant and non-responsive. However, the career director Timamu really made it her mission to help me find a job. When I was feeling stressed out about lack of calls she was there to reassure me and keep me on the right path. I can not express enough gratitude for Franklin and Timamu because of them I am beginning a career as a junior developer and I could not possibly be more excited for future.

I’m leaving this review because I am very pleased overall with the RCB experience. Hopefully I can reach one of you out there, combing through these reviews that may be on the fence. Let me just say that I know what you’re going through. I joined RCB after about six months casually looking into different Bootcamp’s in the area. I was sold on Rutgers mainly because they are a brick-and-mortar school with over a century of history, and putting their name and reputation behind a coding Boot Camp took almost all of the risk out of the equation. I also appreciated the fact that it wasn’t a 90 day program but rather a six-month program. Although it was very intense, it was still very doable while working and raising children.
I started the boot camp in August 2017, at 42 years old, no college degree, and working in the hospitality industry for 15+ years. Two months before the Bootcamp started I did everything I could to get up to speed from online tutorials to YouTube. I had very little coding experience and excepted the fact that a lot of the younger people going into this program were light years ahead of me. Fast forward six months later, I’m graduating in February 2018, I win an award and was asked by my instructor to apply to become a TA. After a long and difficult interview process, I was getting paid to go to through the course again this time as a TA. It’s now May 2018 and I have two job offers.
So is this worth it? It all depends on you. I made this the most difficult six months of my life and it paid off for me. There is a theme you will see in all of these reviews and it is so true. You will get out of this what you put into it. My cohort had a 20 year old computer science student, a 63-year-old man who worked for IBM, a lawyer who worked for a telecommunications firm, an accountant, a database administrator working for the United Nations, and various other people from different backgrounds. I would say 90% of them knew their way around computer better than I did. I had to work extremely hard to get through this but I did and I know you can too. Rutgers coding Boot Camp became not just a career, but a life changer.

Brutal and Awesome

Halfway through the course I reflected on what I had learned and what I was about to learn. I realized how close I came to technological irrelevance. I clearly dodged a bullet by investing in my professional development.
The experience was both brutal and awesome. This Boot Camp is not for Slackers, you will get out what you put in. Push yourself hard and you will have an excellent portfolio to show for it.
We were lucky to have a great instructor in Ahmed and excellent TA’s in Matt, Han, Jacob and Austin. The curriculum was exciting, and the tools were immediately applicable to real world scenarios.
Corey, Juanita and Jessica were extremely helpful with resume critiques and just making sure we had all necessary support. This is not a program that starts, stops and then throws you to the wolves, it is a tool kit with a support structure.

Data Science Bootcamp

I am a software developer with experience in Winforms and WPF, SQL Server, and C#. I knew I had to do something else but my work kept me focusing on these development platforms. Late last year, I took on another role focusing on D3 and front-end web development. It was a big change for me and a lot of challenge. I was removed from my comfort zone and that led me to the internet looking for tutorials, videos, and eventually to this course Data Science Bootcamp.
At first, I was skeptical because I was afraid that I would be bored or wouldn’t enjoy it and would be wasting my time. I kept reading through the topics and I kept telling myself that this is what I wanted to do. After a number of phone calls, questions, and a lot of thinking, I decided to join the class and I have not looked back since. Not only was the class intense, it was challenging in different levels. Each student decides how intense he/she would like his/her experience to be. The material is fast-paced but engaging. If you feel you don’t get it, the instructor and TAs are there to guide you through. You’ll be surprised at how much help you can get from everyone including your peers.
The coursework is 6 months and includes SQL, Python, JavaScript, D3, Tableau, Machine Learning, and so much more. The program does not only teach you how to use each application but also shows you how to put them all together. Coming out of this program made me a more confident developer knowing that I have acquired new set of skills.
Don’t take this course lightly but as long as you come to class and do all your work, you will be surprised at how much of the material you will be able to retain. My recommendation to anyone who is thinking of taking this course is to come in with an open mind and an eagerness to learn but most importantly a willingness to share knowledge. Trust your instructors; I had great ones – Ahmed, Matt, Han, Jacob and wonderful peers to learn and work with.

Few months back, when I registered for this Data Science Bootcamp, I had no idea whether my investment is right or wrong. My daughter saw an advertisement of this bootcamp while doing her job search and asked me to enquire about the details and motivated me. This is the first time, I am looking at the course report. I didn’t check it then and just registered for the course. Had only few phone sessions with the admission team prior to registration and after that with Student Success Manager-Juanita for prework assignment.
Finally, I joined the Data Science and Visualization Bootcamp in August 2017. Covering various tools & technologies in six months, this curriculum is very intensive, but gives a lot of exposure to the world of Data Science. I came to this class with my statistical background and some knowledge of basic Excel only. With no prior experiencing in coding and other technologies, I had to face a lot of problem but thanks to our instructor Ahmed and all TAs – Han, Matt, Jacob and Austin. They have motivated and supported me every moment that I can do it, and yes, I did it.
Besides this, I had the opportunity to get a great advice from career services team as well. Thanks to Jessica, Corey and Ahmed for the positive feedbacks for the improvement of my resume and online presence (LinkedIn and GitHub).
Today, I can proudly say that I did the right thing to join this program. A lot of hard work and dedication is required, but not possible without this type of supportive environment and instructional staff.
Again, I would like to thank Ahmed, Han, Matt, Jacob, Austin, Juanita, Jessica and Corey for their support and patiently handling my queries.

Harshil Patel Verified via GitHubWent From Coding Novice To Mr. Robot

I came into the program with no prior experience on coding and no knowledge as to what most of the tools we would be learning do. I mostly wanted to start the course because they taught SQL which I noticed most financial companies I was applying for were seeking. The experience seemed daunting to begin with but that quickly changed after a couple days of class with a wonderful professor and great TA's who were always ready to help with solving problems that came up. I never thought that I would continually enjoy going to class as much as I did and I always looked forward to learning the new materials. I originally only cared about one thing when I came into the class, but my experiences here taught me that there are so many other things that I would love to do even more now that I knew how to do them. Instead of soley focusing on advancing my career in a finance related field now I realize that I may want to be a python developer instead which is a language I knew nothing about before starting this program. The program is definitely worth the money and no where else will they teach you in such a supportive environment reallly centered around making sure that you are learning and that you know what to do instead of being centered around getting graded. For someone who came in with no idea how to do even the most basic programming to becoming someone that now knows Python, Javascript, SQL, and so much more I would say that there is no other bootcamp that can compare to Rutgers Bootcamps. Whether your a coding novice like me or someone in the field for a few years you can still learn more than you ever thought possible in 6 months if you enroll here I highly recommend it has been a life changing experience.

I absolutely loved the Data Science bootcamp. The curriculum was very intensive but I felt that it was great introduction to the world of Data Science and if right amount of time and work was put into the class, you will succeed in mastering the concept and Tools/Technology.
Languages and toolset will change over the time. But this bootcamp helped me in understanding how to approach the new technology and use it successfuly. When i joined bootcamp, i was just poweruser of Excel and worked in non-technical environment. Today i am proud to say, I can code too. You just need dedication and hardwork for this bootcamp and rest will follow you.
It was not easy at any point in the course but I was lucky to have Ahmed as my instructor and awesome TAs: Han, Matt, and Jacob. I was working fulltime and doing this course. Not any moment it was easy, but i was able to complete this course with ease because of my instructor and TAs. The difficult concept were made so easy to understand.

I attended the Rutgers Coding Bootcamp program in March of 2016. My experience at the program has been incredibly amazing. Naturally, I have a love for technology, but I went into the program with ZERO experience in computer programming, and I almost quit after the first week because of the depth of the learning curve. I did not think I could do it! HOWEVER, I was lucky enough to be paired up with a phenomenal set of educators at the Rutgers Coding Bootcamp program who are highly knowledgeable, patient and determined to support student learning, navigation and development throughout the entire duration of the program. The use of the various digital tools, and quick responses from your instructors is a huge plus. I loved this program so much that I had to give my instructor, Keith Rosenberg, a shout out on my social media: FB, IG, and Youtube @Kdcodewebs. Amazing!
The structure and organization of the assignments helped me to gain a solid foundation into both front and backend development. The program is challenging and rigorous, but with the support of the staff you can make it! You will succeed in this program! I know, I did! After the program, I have become so motivated to discuss the topic of coding in education that I have started my own organization designed to increase coding awareness in K-12 public school education. Without Rutgers Coding Bootcamp, I would not be where I am today.
Personally, I would like to thank Keith Rosenberg, Peter Tumulty, Mark Awai, Jeremiah and Juanita Soranna for supporting my learning journey and being patient with me throughout this program.Your journey will be difficult, but I promise they will help you get through to reach your career goals. I am now an entrepreneur! They helped me to realize my “zone of genius” and I am truly appreciative.

This was the best academic experience i've ever had. Most importantly, I had fun. The difficult pill to swallow is the fact that the bootcamp is everything that you would expect a bootcamp to be; fast paced, challenging, instense, and everything else that follows. Yes it was all of the above, but progress and growth was the outcome everytime. With that, I grew not to mind the difficult learning process because the glory moments at the end of the day were worth it everytime, I couldn't go wrong.
Not only did I learn how to code, I grew a passion for coding. I have to thank the instructional staff for my new found love. Their positive nature was contagious as they provided support in and outside of class. Now that I love to code, I love to learn. I look forward to learning everyday; even on football sundays you'll find me posted at a panera all day. I'm eager to learn new technology in order to achieve project goals I have made for myself. This skill set has revamped the way I think while providing me with a new creative landscape of which I am only limited by my imagination.
That said, the bootcamp taught me how to think, how to learn, and more specifically how to solve problems. Yes I know how to code after endless hours of practice, but I had to learn how to solve problems first before I started typing away hard coding. With that, I grew confidence in myself to tackle any technical (or functional) problem I face.
Overall, I am forever thankful for my experience at the Rutgers Coding Bootcamp. They provided and continue to provide support from every angle.
Amazing Experience.

If you're interested in taking the RCB full time full stack program you're most likely looking for a career change or to gain new work experience. I belong to the former group. I hated the career I was in and was in desperate need of a career change. One day I came across an advertisement for RCB and thought that this could be exactly what I was looking for. A career in tech was appealing to me because your skills and experience are what matter most. RCB isn't the only bootcamp around so I did my research to see what my options were. I ultimately decided on RCB because of the reputation, curriculum, location, and price.
During the time leading up to the bootcamp my biggest concern was my lack of prior coding knowledge. I had no coding experience going into this and was worried that I would be overwhelmed and get left behind. I'm not going to lie, the pace of the course was intense and I put in a lot of work outside of class to keep up, but the instructional staff did an amazing job supporting everyone and making sure everyone stayed on track with the material. There wasn't a single day that I left the class feeling clueless or lost. The instructor and TAs were an invaluable resource during class and office hours. Whenever I had questions about concepts that were covered during class or trouble with my homework the instructional staff were able to help me during office hours, often in a one on one setting.
I was never the most studious person. In high school I did the bare minimum to get by and in college I often skipped classes and didn’t take them seriously. My experience at the Rutgers Coding Bootcamp was the first educational experience that I actually enjoyed. Everyday I looked forward to going to class, learning new things, and getting challenged by the homework. The program did an amazing job keeping me engaged and immersed in a learning environment. RCB gave me a passion for coding and taught me how to learn. I’m glad I chose RCB. From day one I’ve felt supported by the instructional staff and career services. I highly recommend Rutgers Coding Bootcamp to anyone looking to make that jump into tech!

I'll admit, when I signed up at the Rutgers Coding Bootcamp, I was real nervous. I was scared that I wouldn't have a great support system and I would just barely survive the bootcamp. However, all those fears disappeared the second I walked into the classroom.
There, I was surrounded by great students and faculty who wanted nothing more than to create coders who were going to "crush it!"
The curriculum is intense, to say the very least, but you're learning the basic foundations that you can continue to build off of. There was no stone left unturned with the amount of information that we absorbed.
I loved coming to class every day and be surrounded by these incredibly ambitious and goal driven students. We really were a little family together. I know for a fact that all of us are going to remain in touch and be the biggest cheerleaders when it comes to finding a job.
The only thing I wish I did prior to becoming a student was code a little bit more. You can totally join the boot camp having zero coding background, but sitting down and taking basic courses on Udemy was really helpful to me. I just wish I had done more!
I absolutely recommend the Rutgers Coding Bootcamp to anyone who wants to change their lives and start a new career.

Thank you for your feedback, Erin. It’s great to hear that our instructors and TAs were able to provide you with the support and encouragement you needed. And, we’re thrilled that you found the curriculum to be so inclusive. Our program covers many topics in a short time period. To help ease students into the course before it begins, we do provide pre-work and encourage the use of online resources.
As you mention, the more a student prepares for the program, the easier it will be to absorb the material. This is excellent advice for future students. To help students after they have started the program, we also provide student support in the form of tutoring sessions, office hours, a dedicated slack channel and more, to provide assistance whenever needed.
It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the fellowship of other students and formed lasting connections with your peers. We strive to foster a sense of community, and encourage a collaborative atmosphere that simulates the team-oriented nature of a real-world web development position.
Congratulations on completing the program, we wish you the best of luck moving forward. -

Top Notch Curriculum

Before you read, this write-up will be a bit too long, this could be a mix of review, overview and what to expect. If you're like me, were admitted to the program, had concerns and kept hunting for reviews a month before the class started, I hope this will quell fears. It's understandable if you do, its a lot of money and a huge investment, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. A lot of bootcamps expect you to quit your job to attend, but RCB is held three days a week with hours that don't interfere with typical work hours, which will be a plus for many.
I attended the program in their Jersey City satellite location. My commute was about two and a half hours on a good day with public transportation from the Bronx, but being right next to the PATH was extremely convenient.
A little background on myself, in case, if there is someone who is reading is currently in the situation that I was in before I enrolled. I studied media studies, but not too soon after graduating, I realized the job market wasn't what I was expecting it to be for the field.
I had a pretty good handle on HTML and CSS before starting the class, as I had taken a few classes on them. When it came to JavaScript and everything else, I had no idea about the technology that it took to make a website.
Before I really took to dive, I went through numerous tutorials and books to explore programming to see if it was for me. If you are highly considering programming as a career path and have no prior experience with code, I suggest the following resources (in order of quality IMO):
FreeCodeCamp
The Odin Project
Team Treehouse
Udemy
Code School
Codecademy
YoutubeAdmissions
Rutgers Coding Bootcamp wasn't the only program I tried to get into. I've applied to a lot, and not every one of them has the same admissions process. Typically the higher-priced (or salary-based) ones have several rounds of coding tests and interviews. A lot of them were extremely daunting as they replicated the actual process of the application process for the typical programmer's position, some of them even expected applicants to know recursion, which baffled me. But applying to Rutgers was really pleasant compared to the other processes I went through. Some of them were so impersonal and demoralizing that I step away from coding for a few months.
Rutgers started with a general info session with a Trilogy rep, who gives you a run down of the program. Based on that conversation, if you are ready, the process starts and you'll have an interview with admissions. They'll take your background, interest in the program, and your experience with programming. From there you'll take an online multiple-choice assessment, and then based on your score, you'll have another interview session that's only slightly technical with a tricky logic question. It's worth noting that for every stage of the admissions process, you'll be on the phone with someone, which I did like since it added a human touch to it.
After that, it's only a few days before you get the final verdict. In all, for me, the process only took two weeks, from speaking with an information rep to getting the decision, and it was pretty painless.
The Teaching Staff
My class was led by Peleke and Matt, with Boris and Theory being the Teaching Assistants. These four are amazingly patient human beings who want nothing more than for you and your classmates to succeed. They will not only make learning code enjoyable and interesting, they will teach you how to break down concepts, remind you about the fundamentals, and inspire you to push your brain to the limit. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you do, they'll always have an answer. They are all very humble and empathetic and understand if you are having trouble picking up a concept, they'll work tirelessly with you to make sure you are comfortable with it. They will go above and beyond to make sure that your projects are ready for deployment and bug-free even if it's into the wee hours of the night.
With all of the terminologies and syntax, it's hard to get a high-level understanding of things, but with the program, you'll have plenty of practice. Each class you'll have 10 or more activities that'll make use of each tech.
But even if you are not assigned the same teaching staff I've had, fear not as Trilogy is pretty good as sourcing their staff, as they're all extremely knowledgeable and will pretty much have an answer to any question you throw at them.
Your cohort is assigned a student success manager, who is pretty much makes sure you're on track with your homework, up to snub with the material, provides info on the course and helps you get in touch with the various Trilogy Services. I haven't had to ask Kalimah for too many things, but she was always great at helping me out and informing the class of changes and anything we need to do.
The Course
The program itself is excellent. The curriculum is finely tuned and top notch. For those who are concerned with only learning the newest and "hottest" tech and afraid that what you'll learn will be outdated, have no fear. The curriculum team is constantly working on the course material, and are always adjusting to what technology is in-demand at the moment, like React JS. If somehow Vue JS becomes the next de-facto JavaScript framework, I'm sure the team will adjust the curriculum to that. At the end of my cohort, we were scheduled to spend a week (for each) on Java and Python, but React JS had picked up so much steam, we skipped those two and spent extra time on React.
24 weeks sounds like a very long time, but I didn't feel like it. Regardless of any program, DO NOT expect that you will learn the in's and out's of any programming language. That is simply not enough time to master anything, but it is enough time to get pretty good at something.
The first 2 - 3 weeks, you'll go through git and Github, with a crash course in HTML and CSS. After that, you'll get into JavaScript and jQuery. But right after that is where things pick-up with Node JS, and the course starts getting interesting. By the end of the course, you'll be comfortable with databases and frameworks like React JS.
There is a homework assignment that's due two weeks from when it was assigned. Each homework assignment deals with the tech that is learned, and you're given the option of doing assignments into difficulties, one of them being the easier to do. In total, there are three group projects which will expect you to make use of all the technology you have learned as well as incorporating anything not covered in class. These were extremely fun yet incredibly frustrating all for good reasons. They not only add to your portfolio, but help you get a sense of how to work in a team, version control, and learn project management.
Besides class time and work, there are plenty of opportunities to learn provided by Trilogy throughout the 24 weeks. They do "hackathons" on a weekly basis, typically on a Friday night where someone will teach a programming language not a part of the curriculum or go over something like React JS more in depth. These are done online with other cohorts, alumni, and teachers from other Trilogy programs around the country. They are really informative and voluntary so if you do have extra time outside of class work, I definitely recommend doing them. They are recorded so if you miss them, they are viewable once the videos are encoded and uploaded to Youtube.
I haven't had to use them, but Trilogy does provide tutoring services, so if you do find yourself struggling with class work, you can as for a 1-on-1 session and they are at no extra cost.
Career Services
Do not expect any sort of job placement from Rutgers Coding Bootcamp. From the very first day, they will iterate that they do not have any sort of job placement program in place. They had workshops on how to build your online presence, practice sessions for job interviews and webinars with industry folks. I had the impression that they were still ironing things out in their career service, which is a real shame since the curriculum is quite excellent.
While I didn't expect to be handed a job after graduation, career services left a lot to be desired. There were tons of communication breakdowns or lack of. At times there were career service webinars scheduled during work hours which a lot of people couldn't attend. They did tell us for demo day/graduation that there was going to be a few hiring managers there to connect with but none showed up. Career service was kind of a mess but they were in the middle of a revamp I guess. It would be nice if they organized meetup-like events. There are opportunities outside of class to network in the area, but it could be tough getting to recruiters and hiring managers at those.
I do hope they improve this aspect of the program.The Takeaways
TL;DR
- The curriculum is top-notch
- Teaching staff is great, empathetic, and patient
- don't rely on career services
- the program only works if you put the work in
- be proactive, start assignments early, read up on new concepts and technology.
- class work and homework are great at getting you comfortable with concepts and tech
- you'll have fun learning
Overall, based on the strength of the curriculum and the material you'll learn, I can wholeheartedly recommend this program. Learning programming is very hard, and it's easy to get into the notion that it's a breeze with bootcamps promising you to be a master programming in three months. The reality is you won't come out of any bootcamp as a master developer, and you won't after completing this one. There is simply not enough time to learn everything. So with that, programming is hard and the folks at Trilogy know this. Although career service wasn't the most robust aspect, it shouldn't deter you from considering this program, you'll learn a lot and have fun doing it.
*****
If you feel that this is the program for you, or you've already been admitted and preparing to start, here are some things I suggest on doing:
PRACTICE and REPEAT: Coding isn't something you can learn by reading a book, it is HARD TO LEARN. It is imperative that you go through the motions and know why and how the tools you are using work. Every chance that I got, I was either reading a JavaScript book, working through a tutorial, creating side projects, or even watching a Youtube video. Everything helps.
GOOGLE is your best friend: Seriously, it's okay to Google, you're not expected to know everything. You may get really good with Twitter Bootstrap and never have to use to the documentation again, but that'd probably take years of useage, so feel free to have the documentation open up in another tab. When you start doing projects, a good 85% of the resources you'll be using to make those creations come to life will be from Googling, so start practicing and get better with your search engine wording.
Throw your ego into the Hudson River: Learning the fundamentals of programming is hard. There will be times where you ace a concept and other times you'll feel crushed. But if you stay humble and have a craving to learn you'll get the material.
Help your classmates out: You're all in it together, and helping your neighbors makes the experience better for everyone
Go all in on projects and homework assignments: This goes hand in hand with my repetition and practice point, the work is designed for you to grasp the tech, not doing them will be your loss. Later on, they'll serve as examples that'll go into your portfolio, so try to put as much effort as you can.

What I Needed
Read more Read less of Wesley L Handy's review
I am so thankful that I found Rutgers Coding Bootcamp. I needed a program near where I lived, from a trusted and reputable source, that allowed me to continue working. The structure of this program is ideal for those who cannot give the 60-80 hours/week required by many full-time bootcamps. Not only that, the slower pace over a 24 week program aids retention of concepts and affords time to apply new concepts creatively. I continued learning concepts that a bootcamp does not have the time to cover and explored tech outside the curriculum.
Besides ideal length and flexibility, the curriculum and instruction were very helpful. Matt Kim and Peleke Sengstacke both demonstrated strong abilities to teach, instruct, correct (where needed) and model the development process. They also brought years of experience coding in the real world that allowed us to ask all sorts of questions. I was able to see what a coder does and how they think. On top of that, they often challenged us with interview questions and taught us about algorithmsm, white-boarding, and application architecture. Together with a curriculum designed so that one could push themselves to complete more challenging tasks, I came out with a lot of confidence in my ability to code (even while recognizing that I have a lot to learn, because I saw even in them that learning never stops!). Our two TAs, Boris Yakubchik and Theory Practice, also real world developers, provided assistance and also pushed us to do harder stuff. Overall, I felt the curriculum and instruction lended themselves to learning about code and learning to code quite well.Since this bootcamp is connected with a larger organization, Trilogy Education Services, with bootcamps and several major universities across the US, the coding community is strong and the opportunites to learn from one another are great. Pavan Katepalli is the CLO for the organization. He holds weekly training sessions and miniHackathons where I met students from other bootcamps and learned new concepts and technology outside the normal curriculum. Trilogy also provides free tutoring services for students who need assistance. I was able to begin tutoring other students while in the program and continue tutoring to this day.
Being connected with Rutgers University gives a sense of credibility to the program as well as provides connections with the Rutgers Alumni network. I can now say I am a Rutgers Alumnus, which means something, especially in NJ. Additionally, and very importantly for me, this connection helped financially since I was able to secure a low-interest rate educational loan through Sallie Mae (an option I could not find in other private bootcamps). Moreover, I was able to request some extra cash to cover the cost of a new laptop as well as other education related expenses. Honestly, this was the major deciding factor for me, before I knew anything about the program as it compared to others (which I think it compares very well looking back!).
Keep in mind, if you are considering a coding bootcamp, or even a full CS degree, becoming a web developer requires hard work and a strong commitment to continual coding. You have to push yourself and take the reigns of your education and your future. No one is out there who is just going to give you a job. This is a competative field. Rather than being discouraged by the difficulty, push yourself to learn. Let your failures drive you to excellence. Make the sacrifices necessary to learn to code well. Bootcamps, degrees, or any other form of education and self-improvement are not a panacae for your career opportunities in and of themselves. Don't put all your hopes and expectations in a bootcamp to get you a job. Rather, start coding now, add to your learning process the discipline and opportunity of a bootcamp, and continue to code and code and code. It's your hard work that will make your bootcamp experience a good one.
One of the only negatives I experienced in this program was related to career services. The bootcamp advertises a strong career placement ratio and offers career advisement services. In our case, the director of career services left about a month into the program and it took several months for the school to get back on its feet. During that time, there was a lack of communication and it was unclear exaclty what career services will do. However, they made some new hires and seem to be heading into a better direction. Still, I would like to see them be more proactive in connecting us with potential employers. With the general stigma against bootcamp grads, it would be great to know they are out there building personal relationships with employers and advocating for us and putting our work on display. Maybe this is going on behind the scenes and maybe this will get better in the future, but right now, I don't know.
Nevertheless, I still would recommend Rutgers Coding Bootcamp to anyone and I have recommended it so to friends. You willl learn how to develop full stack web applications. And you will build important relationships with other devs that will stick with you.Juanita Soranno of Rutgers Bootcamps

Tom T Verified via GitHubKnow how to get the most out of the program
Read more Read less of Tom T's review
Overview
This program was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. In addition to learning web development, the course touches on mobile apps as well! The instructors (shout out to Dan V, Ahmed, and Pavan) know their stuff and really go the extra mile to help students succeed. You will learn a lot of real world programming skills, finish with a solid portfolio to showcase to employers, and meet some like-minded friends along the way. Also, having a Demo Day where you can network with employers at the end of the program, was a huge plus. But you need to be realistic with your goals and expectations.
My Two Cents
You may notice a lot of reviews on this page are either love it or hate it, so I think you should ask yourself 3 questions before you commit to this course:
- Do you have (somewhat) of an idea of what coding is?
- Will you have the time to put in 15 to 20 hours a week outside of class?
- Have you done your research and considered alternatives?
Here is some insight into the three questions above:
- The bootcamp is rightfully labeled as a beginner’s program. You don’t need to have any experience in coding before you start since the course covers all the basics in the first few weeks. But, if you have no prior programming experience, I highly recommend testing the waters before agreeing to the program. While a lot more is covered in the bootcamp than just this, doing a couple (free) HTML and JavaScript lessons on codecademy.com will give you a flavor of what to expect.
- The course is labeled as a “part time” bootcamp, so it is possible to work full time while taking the course. But, you will definitely feel the “bootcamp” aspect. A number of students did really well while maintaining a full time job, but I could tell it was definitely stressful for them. Personally, I struck a good balance between working part time (25 hours a week) and studying 15-20 hours outside of a class. This gave me the chance to have some free time to attend hackathons on the side. Be responsible though, I am 20-something year old. If you have a family to support, I would not recommend quitting a full time job since the bootcamp does not guarantee a job at the end.
- Coding is a lot more than just knowing syntax, you need to be able to boil a problem down to its essential parts to understand how to solve it. Let’s start right now. If you’re determined to become a programmer, you basically have 3 options. First, you can go to a 4 year college for computer science and earn a degree. Second, you can become self taught. Third, you can attend this bootcamp (or others). I recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FioceDs7JA to see the pros and cons of each. Ultimately, I chose the bootcamp option because I already had a technical degree and was looking to quickly transition closer toward software development. I choose Rutgers Coding Bootcamp over others because it was cheaper than most, closer to where I live, and the part time aspect allowed me to still have a job while studying.
Finally, The Full Review
About Me
I actually graduated from Rutgers University with a 4 year degree and was in the workforce for two years before signing on to the bootcamp. I came from a Mechanical/Industrial Engineering background, so I was no stranger to a difficult course load. I had a decent foundation in knowing how to code, but I was missing a lot of the bigger picture parts of actually knowing how to create and deploy a website or app. The bootcamp filled all these gaps.
Overall Experience
The course felt very inclusive and it had an active Slack community were you could post questions, chat with students, and collaborate on projects. Having this community made it feel a lot more inclusive than my classroom experience in college. Outside of lecture, there were also many (optional) video sessions you could attend (for no additional charge). These sessions included an Interview Weekly session where instructors and former bootcamp students talked about interviewing skills and how they liked working in tech. Other sessions also included Mini-Hackathons were instructors, former students, and people in the industry gave coding walkthroughs on making chat bots, data analysis, twitter bots, etc.
Instructors
You could feel that the instructors and TAs really were passionate about coding and often took extra initiative to nail down concepts. I found my instructor, Dan V, to be very engaging during lecture, and, honestly, he did a better job explaining concepts than most of my college professors. Some TAs were former bootcamp students, but they are also very knowledgeable and helpful. Often, top performing bootcamp graduates are asked to come on to the program as TAs.
Curriculum
The course is true to it’s “full stack” name. You learn how to make a fully functional website that looks good, feels responsive, and connects to a database. As an added perk, the course briefly touches on mobile app development too. The pace is quick, but sustainable, just be sure to keep up with the weekly homework assignments. The homework assignments are critical in learning the material thoroughly and they also become part of your portfolio to showcase to employers.
Job Assistance
The bootcamp does not guarantee job placement. I repeat, the bootcamp does not offer job placement. The course is very up front about this, but you should understand how this impacts your job search. After graduation other bootcamps take a percentage of your first year’s salary as payment for the course. Rutgers Coding Bootcamp does not, it is based on a flat rate, up front payment. While this often makes it cheaper to attend, the bootcamp has no incentive to do your job search for you.
Instead, the bootcamp offers job assistance. These include resume writing sessions, networking techniques (and events), interviewing skills, and learning how to maintain a LinkedIn presence. Overall, I would say it was pretty helpful. To get the most out of career services you will need to be proactive. I recommend attending the Interview Weekly sessions and keeping your portfolio page and Github up-to-date. And presenting at Demo Day is a must!
Personally, I found the job search more difficult than actually learning the course load. I sent out about 70 applications and rarely heard back from employers. Definitely avoid the temptation of a “one click apply” approach. From my observations, I would say that the best approach to landing a new job was by networking with current students, bootcamp graduates, and TAs/instructors. Ultimately, I landed my current job by networking with a classmate.
Conclusion
Would I take the course again? Yes. Not only did I land a new job, but I now have a sweet new hobby. The $9,500 was a lot of money, but I learned a lot of material quickly, met like-minded students, and have a very valuable skillet. I am writing this review 2 months after graduation. I skill keep in touch with my instructor and classmates.

Great Bootcamp for Starters

I have not yet graduated the course but I do feel confident enough to leave a review about this boot camp in the remaining time I have left.
Prior to this boot camp, I’ve had around 13 years of coding experience and was looking for something to fill any gaps I may have had. I spent months researching and even had chances at sponsorships at other schools. What turned me to Rutgers Coding Bootcamp was not only the name but also the reviews I’ve read about the instructors.
Coming into the class I was a bit scared that maybe it would be difficult and perhaps fall behind but it turned out to be the complete opposite for me. With my prior experience in coding, I found it extremely easy and was breezing through just about all the assignments that were given. Now, I’m not saying I’m not learning anything new at all… I do pick up things here and there that I never knew before. Some of the stuff I picked up from class made my development life a bit easier.
I cannot say this boot camp is taking me from zero to hero in terms of coding experience. For me, it’s just filling in missing bits and pieces.
For my class I had Pavan and personally, I don’t think I’d choose anyone else. He is passionate about what he does, shares his excitement with the class and just overall makes the entire course feel alive. I don’t think any other instructor at any other school could top him. He is the real deal and he puts so much effort into his students, you cannot go wrong with Pavan.
Now… if you were to ask me if I would join this class again I would say probably not. The reason being is because I have so much prior coding knowledge and $10,000 is quite a bit of cash to only pick up bits here and there. If they offered an advanced course, then I’d join it in a heartbeat. Do I regret joining this class? No. I’ve met some great people and hope the friendships and connections I got out of it last me a lifetime, and to me, that is worth the $10k.
If you were to ask me who should join Rutgers Coding Bootcamp, then I’d suggest anyone who considers joining has at least some background in code. If you happen to be someone who has no knowledge in programming, then I’d HIGHLY suggest you learn from free online resources first. Doing so you’ll find out if you enjoy coding and you’ll have a head start if you do decide to join this boot camp.
Who shouldn’t join this boot camp? Someone who only looks at the salary instead of the big picture. Coding is an “art” and people who have a passion for it are the ones who succeed the most in this field. The salary is nice but what is the point if you wake up every day hating what you do? So really ask yourself if this is what you want to do.
Overall, this boot camp is worth the money if you have some prior experience and are looking to turn to this career path. Just be prepared for a lot of work. This easily turns into a full-time gig for some students.
After I graduate I will update this review with updated information regarding career services, my job search experience, etc.

I decided to pursue data analytics as a natural extension of my background in medicine and public health. With my experience as a physician and a Master’s in Public Health, I have always been drawn to evidence-based decision-making and data-driven insights. However, after a career gap due to raising my children, I wanted to re-enter the workforce with an enhanced skill set that would allow me to contribute meaningfully to healthcare and academic research. The growing importance of data in shaping public health policies and organizational decisions motivated me to explore this field further, leading me to apply to the data analytics boot camp.My experience with the boot camp has been incredibly rewarding. The structured curriculum provided me with a strong foundation in SQL, Python, Pandas, Matplotlib, and machine learning. One of my favorite aspects of the program was working on real-world projects. I also enjoyed building interactive dashboards using Tableau and Streamlit, which allowed me to present insights in a visually compelling manner. The hands-on approach of the boot camp, along with the support from instructors and peers, made learning both engaging and effective.For prospective students considering this path, my biggest piece of advice is to stay curious and proactive. Data analytics is a dynamic field, and the more you practice, the more confident you become. Engage with projects that align with your interests, as they will keep you motivated. Additionally, networking with peers and industry professionals can open doors to opportunities you might not have considered. Lastly, don’t be afraid to make mistakes—each challenge is a learning experience that brings you one step closer to mastery. -

I been in the IT field for little over 15 years and needed a change in my current career path. I choose Rutgers Cyber Boot Camp program because I knew the Rutgers name would make the class challenging and engaging. The staff from the enrollment, student Advisor, Instructor, & TA's made the journey much easier. The approach of my class Instructor crated a atmosphere which made me feel as I was working in the field. This hands on approach not only gives you experience but the confidence you need to move into Cyber. I am currently working on my new Resume for the team at Rutgers to review and help look at my new Career Path. Also taking the tools I learned & studying my my Cert. If you put the time in you would succeed. The path is up to you. Class of 2024 !! -

I fell in love with technology early in the year. I decided I wanted to peruse coding. I did alot of research on courses and schools. Rutgers came recommended from someone I know who codes.
I called my Aunt as I could not afford the boot camp on my own. I sent her all the information and she agreed that Rutgers is an amazing school and this would the best opportunity for me. She agreed to pay in full!
I started my pre course work and was terrified I had no idea what was going on. Rutgers has so many great resources and I started meeting with a tutor right away. I completed the pre course work which helped me tremendously in my first month of school. The way Rutgers set that up is genius!
Through out the boot camp I learned more then I could ever imagine. Times were hard, and I had to change my life but it was worth it. The staff in my class are amazing. The bootcamp is fast paced but the way they teach and resources like recorded videos allowed me to grasp what we were learning. I was able to collaborate with like minded students, learn from a welts knowledge with the teachers. Attended career counseling and assistance and meet with my tutor one time per week. All of the help provided made this possible.
I maintained a full time job, taking care of my recovery and another college. Although hard at times I was inspired by my classmates and teaching staff. If you are looking to expand your knowledge or even start a new career Rutgers is the school for you. The full stack boot camp was life changing and has put me on track to change career paths and have a bright future. They will help you grow, support you and teach you amazing coding. -

My data science bootcamp has been an excellent experience. The professor (I'm not sure it's appropriate to give out personal names) is a peerless resource, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject, and incredibly patient with student questions and needs. I would recommend him for anything. The assignments are relevant and we're building a solid portfolio of work. There is also a 24 hours/7 days a week spot-assistance resource for students, which has been very helpful. -

I am just over halfway through this fantastic course, and I can safely say that it has already altered my life. I have found my passion in developing web applications, and am so grateful to the Rutgers staff for making this possible. I could not recommend this enough to anyone who wants to break into tech and start their journey in this field! -

I have attended several courses but Rutger's full stack bootcamp is different. The complete Teaching and management team is highly available to help and support. Nathan Shown our Instructor brought in immense knowledge and expertiese to the class and an equal amount of humbleness and teaching expertise. The TA's were equally helpful and ready to go beyond. Cannot miss how TA - Shaminder Singh went beyond and help us through the weekend to understand few concepts.
The tutoring sessions are also an added advantage during the course.
A must take course !! -

Great program. Fast pace in the full time program, but worth it. Came in with no experience what so ever and learned alot. Was surprised how i was able to pick up and actually learn coding. The instructors and TAs were amazing. Always going out of their way to help us and make sure we were okay. The tutors were phenomenal and really helped you understand topics. Overall great program and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to switch careers. Do yourself a big favor and do it dont have second thoughts. -

Extremely educational experience

My time at Rutgers coding bootcamp (Full-Stack) was extremely educational. I know find myself with a significantly deepened understanding of the science. While effective, I would advise caution to a working professional as the format of the course makes for a significant workload requirement. Outside of the long class hours, there is significant independent study required in order to complete the weekly challenges and gain a good understanding of the materials. It will pay off. I would recommend this highly to a student or young adult looking for a cost-effective alternative to a college or university or to sharpen skills gained in a four-year program.Boot Camp Team of Rutgers Bootcamps

I believe this course was a huge help. I went in with very minimal coding experience and left with a vast expense of knowledge. If you stay on top of assignments, use your tutor, go to help period, study outside of class hours, and the like, then you will pass this for sure! Additionally, holding study groups with your classmates helps a lot!
However, this does not mean the course is for everyone. It takes up a lot of time and can be stressful sometimes. Be sure you have the proper amount of time to put into this course and that you like coding or else joining it will be a regret.
I will go into some specifics of everything below:
-
Instructors:
- I had an instructor who was incredibly experienced in coding. However, because of that experience he sometimes forgot that we wouldn't always understand him. Overall, he was a pretty good teacher but he had his confusing moments. Thankfully, our TA helped us figure things out.
-
Curriculum:
- You will learn a lot (and I mean A LOT) in this boot camp, to the point that it can be overwhelming. However, it all is incredibly helpful and useful! I do not believe we learned one unimportant thing. Admittedly, there were some things we won't use all of the time, but having experience with them is still helpful in the long run of things.
-
Job Assistance:
- As of me writing this, I have job assistance as 'Not Applicable.' However, I will change this after I finish using the career services. As of right now, they regularly send me sessions I could go to and learn things at. One main thing they do is have you to do is read how to create career-necessary resources (such as a resume) and then submit what you create after reading how to do so. Then, they go over those resources and let you know how to improve them. This has been incredibly helpful so far even though I have yet to finish them (we are given some time after the BootCamp to continue to use career services, I believe 90 days). Additionally, you can have meetings with your career coach after creating a resume (I have yet to attend a meeting despite being invited to). Overall, I believe the career services are great! Just be aware they do not guarantee you a job.
-
Scholarships:
- Please be aware that scholarships do not stack (at least in my case). I was eligible for an alumni scholarship (so long as you are a college graduate you can get this) and for an early registration scholarship (enroll by the early registration deadline). Both were $500 scholarships, however, I only found out after registering that they did not stack. Thus instead of getting $1000 off, I only got $500. I felt this is a necessary thing to know since the $1000 off is what convinced me to take the plunge to do this.
-
Tutors:
- I only used my tutor one time, so I do not have much to say in this regard from personal experience. However, I did hear great things from my peers about their tutors. So, I recommend using them!
-
Time Outside Class:
- Spend time studying and doing homework! Studying helps a lot, especially when in a study group. It is a lot easier to figure things out when there are others to help. If you're shy like me, then it isn't always easy to start one but try your best! If you can't but someone offers to have you join theirs, then definitely go for it! As for homework, you will definitely want to stay on top of it! You can fall behind really fast in this course. Make sure you leave enough time for homework.
- Another thing to mention is to make sure you make time for yourself! This class can be super stressful, so remember to take time to relax. Sometimes the best way to solve a coding problem is to step away and come back later with fresh eyes. Taking care of yourself is incredibly important and is admittedly something I struggled with during this program a bit. However, if I had managed my time better then things would've gone better. Thus, be sure to take a break and manage your time well so that you can actually relax!

Full Stack Flex (Full Time) Review
Read more Read less of Jack's review
I completed the Full Stack bootcamp in August 2022. Overall, I was pleased with the course and thought it was worthwhile. I opted to take the full time version over 12 weeks, as opposed to the part-time/24 week option. A few takeaways:
1) The full time program is pretty difficult, as you have tons of new technologies thrown at you over such a short period of time. The flip side of that is that it is more immersive than a part-time program, so you really feel your attention is 100% focused on the bootcamp. I thought this was good, if more challenging, but maybe some people would prefer the pace of the part-time class. I would not recommend trying to work full time while taking the full time bootcamp, it would be very, very difficult.
2) Our instructor Mr Han was extremely knowledgeable. I could not be happier with the quality of the instructor. In addition to in-depth knowledge of dozens of different languages and packages we cover in the course, he was always willing to spend extra time with us to work through issues and get to a deployable final product. I got the sense the instructor was genuinely interested in seeing everyone succeed, learn, and complete the course.
3) This bootcamp is a starting point for a career as a web developer. If you don't have prior experience or credentials, I would not expect to complete the bootcamp and land a job right away developing new languages at Google or Facebook etc. But if you are looking for a starting point to launch or pivot your career in that direction, this is a good fit. It will be up to you after you graduate to continue learning and applying what you learn every day.
4) My only gripe is with the curriculum (not the instructors). I thought that in the second half of the class we had too many technologies, frameworks, and packages thrown at us. I felt I was not grasping things 100% as I was at the beginning of the class. I would have preferred going more in-depth but with fewer technologies, but that is my personal preference. Some who might want a more basic level of understanding while getting exposure to more technologies might think otherwise.
5) To get through the class, most people will have to lean heavily on extra support - office hours and tutors. The tutors and TAs were great. I don't think I would have completed the course without using the tutor appointments. You are given 2 tutor appts per week for the full time course (1 per week for part time), and for most of the class you will probably need to use them each week or risk falling behind. Additionally, you will have to make sure you keep up with the pace of the class and don't fall behind on coursework. If you fall behind, it is easy to get so backlogged you won't be able to complete the class. In addition, everything in this class builds on what you have just learned, so if you are behind by a week or two you will start to become completely lost and unable to function in the class.
6) This program, like many bootcamps, is expensive. Looking around, it doesn't seem to be too far off from other bootcamps, but still it is a lot of money for a certificate. You can break it up into monthly payments over the course. I think it is up to the individual to decide what is right for them in terms of expenditure. I think what you are paying for is the support and leadership of learning from an experienced professional, with support of your classmates and tutors. Working in a collaborative setting is also something valuable you get from the course, and something employers like to see. Not much in this course is proprietary information - you can find answers on how to code or create almost anything on the web just by searching Google. The difference is that I felt that I probably got in 2-3 years worth of Google-then-test-stuff in over the course of 3 months. I think that the leveling up there was worth it, but if you have patience and don't mind taking a much longer path to a career in development, maybe try to get started on your own with some small projects and free online lessons/tutorials before shelling out over $12k.
7) Career services - I am still going through the process of solidifying career materials to be able to use career services fully, so will update this review if anything changes. All I know as of now is there are advisors who will help you improve your materials (LinkedIn, resume, portfolio, Github, etc) to be ready to go out and apply for developer jobs. There is a job board you get access to with jobs that seemed to mostly be aimed at bootcamp grads. So far I am neutral on career services, as I haven't really finished that process yet.
To summarize, I thought the class was a good use of my time and money. The instructors and support staff were really great (noticeably better than when I was a full-time student at Rutgers), the class size was smaller than I thought (a good thing), and you really do learn some cool things that allow you to go out and start building websites and applications during the class and right after you finish. Learning from someone like our instructor Mr Han was a great experience - he had a solution for any problem or answer for any question. It helps knocks down many barriers beginner developers might run into. Downsides are it is expensive (though perhaps in line with the bootcamp market), and it is difficult as there is a ton of information thrown at you. However, if you were really interested in turning to a career in web development, I think this is a great starting point for most people (if you're ok spending the money).Boot Camp Team of Rutgers Bootcamps

Rutgers Bootcamps work if you work it. The professors and teaching assistants were very knowledgeable and always willing to take their time to work with you. The course is fast-paced and can definitely feel overwhelming at times, especially the later you get into the course. However, there are so many ways to reach out for help; the instructors, your classmates, tutors, the internet...

Data Science Bootcamp Review

The program was packed with everything which they advertise at the beginning; “fasted-paced, challenging, covers wide range of technologies, requires extensive time both inside and outside of the classroom and your commitment." (should be extraordinary) All this was true.
But it also presented a wide range of possibilities to work with data exploring, seeing new trends, and touching upon new ways to visualize data. Best of all were the great resources which were provided to achieve success!
It was an amazing experience; I wish I had some background in coding to be able to pick up much more in class for the very first time. The tutors are very knowledgeable, not to mention their incredible patience and understanding to help us out! I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this Bootcamp program!

Rutgers Data Science Bootcamp 24 week class
Read more Read less of Byron Pineda Jr.'s review
I wanted to reset my career after being let go by my former company after 14 years. I carefully considered switching over to data science as that field has been growing rapidly in the last few years. Taking this course seemed to be the best and quickest way to get me there.
This Data Science course is the part-time 24 week program. Upfront the the bootcamp and instructor informs you to expect a minimum of 20+ hours outside of scheduled in-class hours working on homework and projects in order to succeed. The homeworks/projects are all challenging especially if you have not had exposure to the skill sets that you will learn in class. Expect to have two to three class sessions on each new skill set so the pace is incredibly fast. Almost each week you will have a new challenging homework assigned so expect to be pushed keeping up with the new skill being learned while also working on homework.
I found our instructional staff to be very knowledgeable and willing to help. The classes were held via Zoom. Initially I was concerned as I am an older student and used to the old-school classroom settings. However, I quickly adapted and did not feel I was lacking knowledge transfer from our instruction staff or dealing with other team members on projects. If unexpected life events occur outside of class that may effect school, you should not be afraid to speak with your instructor. They are there and want to help you!
You are encouraged to take tutoring as this is part of the curriculum. Originally I did not take a tutor for probably the first 10 weeks but I encourage anyone to take a tutor out-of-the-gate as that gives you an opportunity to ask questions. I found my tutors energetic and wanting to help and I was satisfied with them. I know that other students had mixed reviews depending on their tutors. You have an option to change tutors if it is not working out for you. I had an excellent tutor who left to take a new position and was reassigned a new one. Thankfully the new tutor was also excellent.
I am amazed how much I learned over the last 24 weeks. While I gained a lot of business knowledge over the last 10 years, I probably picked up more technical skills in the past 24 weeks than I had in the past 10 years.
So is this class right for you? I can't answer that for you but for me I never would have picked up as many new skill sets this quickly and find particular parts of the data science curriculum that I like and want to pursue.Bootcamp Team of Rutgers Bootcamps
