	Kendra Frederick	If you are looking for an in-person, immersive Data Science bootcamp that will give you skills and confidence in this burgeoning field, you need look no further than Metis. The highlights: - Passionate, intelligent, yet personable and caring staff - Applicable curriculum, a good balance of broad and deep - Bright, motivated, supportive peers - A true cheerleader in the Career Support Advisor I appreciated that there was a significant amount of "pre-work" recommended. This isn't a zero-to-hero bootcamp, and it shouldn't be. Everyone walks in with a baseline, so you can get more or less straight to work learning about Data Science. I enjoyed the project-based curriculum and believe it was a very effective way to teach new concepts. As you learn, you apply it. Instructors are highly available to assist with any questions or issues -- though they sometimes got monopolized by students seeking more help than others. They are incredibly patient, kind, and wise. Classmates were friendly and always willing to help -- it felt highly collaborative, and never overtly competitive. Metis puts forth a lot of effort to make it feel like a community and that each student is valued. Beyond the Data Science, Metis teaches you grit: how to not give up, to find a way. time management: you don't have a lot of time for your projects -- so you learn how to time-block and set deadlines for yourself. how to learn, and learn fast!: don't know something? Google it. Find a book or a blog. Ask someone. Get creative. These are skills that will serve you well in The Real World. My only quibble is that I was expecting a bit more from the Metis network in terms of finding a job. Perhaps the Seattle program is too new to have a vast expanse of alums armed with a trove of jobs, just waiting for us to graduate to bestow them upon us. Maybe I am just lazy and entitled. I should note that some alums were very involved and eager to help. Also, Marybeth, the career advisor, is an amazing resource. She is highly knowledgeable -- and connected -- and is also always there for moral support. She'll help you structure your time post-bootcamp and negotiate that inevitable job offer.
