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.

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.

Life Changing Experience
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. - Adam GLANTZSenior Digital Strategist, Media • Student • New BrunswickJul 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent experience
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. - Thomas SzentirmayStudentJul 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Life changing choice
I am just over halfway through this fantastic course, and I can safely say that it has already altered my life.

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.

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.
