Northwestern Boot Camps

I completed the part time bootcamp back in October.

I just want to say - you get what you put in. If you aren't going to attend or do not try to complete homework. . . indeed you are not going to understand anything and you are going to waste your time and moneny. That's your fault though - honestly if i can complete this bootcamp so can you. It doesn't take a genius to learn this. It just takes dedication and commitment.

If you actually use the resources that they give you - like the four teaching assistants, multiple tutor(s) or success manager - you shouldn't have to drop out. But everyone has their own reason.

Also some major points on why i gave the # of stars for each rating.

I'm writing this review in hopes that someone who was in my shoes 12-months ago, may find it useful. So if you're considering attending a BootCamp, and weighing the options on price, curriculum, quality, etc... this review is for you.

My experience at the NU Boot Camp (operated by Trilogy), was very good.

Walking into the first class I didn't know anything about coding - so I was the true "target" candidate for a program like this. I researched dev BootCamps for about 3 years previously and was extremely pleased to find this one at NU. This became my top choice for two reasons: 1) due to the affiliation with Northwestern I was able to put NU on my resume (very few of the other bootcamps have a name brand affiliation like this, and it does standout to recruiters), and 2) it turned...

This boot camp has been a truly horrendous experience. To begin with, Northwestern has absolutely nothing to do with this boot camp besides lending their name and classroom space. The entire program is run by a company called Trilogy Education Services. Our current classroom learning has been so underwhelming (please read other listed reviews) that Trilogy sent the regional vice president into our classroom for an audit. That should tell you right there how bad of an experience it has been and how poor our entire class is performing. Two days later, I received a phone call from the vice president, who informed me that they would be extending some class resources for our boot camp as well as personally offering me the opportunity to retake the boot camp at no additional charge. It w...

Question everything about this program. I felt blindsided when I found out that this program is run by Trilogy not Northwestern. What this means is that the curriculum, instructor and career services are all Trilogy NOT Northwestern. I was expecting a Northwestern level education and instructional staff, I got something that was far from it. This program was a catastrophic failure for me. I'm writing this review because I think people need to know about my experience. I know other people who are taking a different bootcamp and are doing much better then me. I feel like I made an investment in the wrong bootcamp.
