Oh man, I could write a whole novel about how much I loved my experience…read more Horizons has given me the tools to grow my skills and passion for technology and entrepreneurship in a way that I never anticipated. The summer of learning cutting-edge web/mobile dev, networking with amazing companies and fellow Horizonites, and bonding in a community of amazing students with like-minded interests (who have also gone on to intern at the best tech companies because of Horizons) gave me a solid leg-up in my tech career. Because of the amazing things you build (replicas of Facebook, Yelp, Trello, are just among a few of the projects you build each week) and the extremely talented and brilliant instructors, you'll come out of this school feeling like you learned more in 2 months than you've ever learned in college. Seriously, once I started recruiting for a software engineering internship, I realized that because of Horizons, I not only was getting way more interest from companies than my peers, but also I was much more prepared for the technical interviews. It was in large part because of what I learned and built at Horizons that I have now gone on as a software engineering summer intern at a Fortune 500 company and have also transferred from my liberal arts college to Northwestern's engineering school for CS. Mainly, the network you build for both life and entrepreneurial ventures is invaluable. I have met lifelong friends and potential startup co-founders and out in the tech world at recruiting events, I have realized that Horizons alumni look out for one another and are proud of their shared experience at Horizons. Also, the co-founders Abhi and Darwish are some of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. Abhi has mentored me continuously (whenever I reach out to him, he always finds time to talk with me), and I have even asked him to my school to give a talk because he has so much to offer in terms of solid career advice. Abhi and Darwish are very good people who work very hard (they're always the last to leave the building because they're so dedicated to Horizons), and how they manage to maintain mentoring Horizonites while simulatenously keeping Horizons so efficient and productive is beyond me. This has truly been a cornerstone experience of my life and education, and I can't recommend Horizons highly enough to anyone who is interested in entrepreneuship, learning web/mobile dev, or just want to stand out and get a leg up on technical internships/jobs. Definitely apply - you seriously won't regret it.

Go to Horizons. I…read morecame into the summer '17 cohort with zero programming or tech-related background. It was grueling! It was hard! It was frustrating! But going through such an intense three months gave me great personal and career development. One thing that's special about doing a bootcamp is that as a business student, you can come out the program knowing the same, if not more, about software development as a CS major does. The breadth of material taught me to think about things as specific as a complex sorting algorithm to as broad as architecting a full stack application. And the best part is that the technical skills I learned were just a starting point. I can't believe how far I've come in the year since I did Horizons in my personal and work projects. Besides the obvious programming knowledge that comes with a bootcamp, I think the thing that sticks out the most about Horizons is that their people genuinely care about each student. When I looked at a problem with little hope of solving it, the TAs patiently encouraged me to think about it dynamically until I reached a solution. Knowing the cohort wanted to learn about more than building, the team networked hard to get us speakers that spoke openly with us about their careers and experiences. Months after the program ended, I received support and advice from the founders themselves during recruiting season. Horizons has been the true foot in the tech door I always wanted and badly needed. Go for it, hate it, love it, and be so glad you did it.

Dear Lincoln Tech, I've witnessed first hand the skills…read more which your students have acquired during your Etiquette classes. These skills include: 1) Hurling invectives at other classmates and potential competition for a man they are interested in. 2) The use of multiple invectives in the same sentence(e.g. I"m gonna cut that motherf*&%^ing b*(chass c**t if she get near me, yo) 3) The ability to project their voices in a crowded room. I was 30 feet away when I heard the sentence above. Impressive. 4) Creative disposal of inhalers. This includes grinding cigarettes on the floor with heel, flicking cigarettes into the train tracks, and for the prepared student, putting cigarette out in the juice bottle carried for said purpose.

This has to be the worst school ever. I attended the LPN program and it was a joke! The "teachers"…read moreare actually just nurses with no teaching experience. I'm not even sure how they would get the job. I didn't learn a thing the whole year and a half I was there! Also, they say all clinical sites are accessible by public transportation. Yeah, if you want to get up at 4a.m., get on three busses and then walk a mile just to get there. You could not pay me to refer someone to go here! The recruitment officers also do not know what they are talking about, they just want you to sign that paper so they get their money. He could not even answer simple questions such as what time the school was open. All together horrible place, people and experience. Do not go here if you are looking for an education. I wish I could give this place zero stars!!!!!!

Although the vocational school subscribes to a "Judeo-Christian" belief system, and enforces a…read morehighly disciplined lifestyle, it is not affiliated with any religious organization.[7 Williamson is the only trade college in the country that gives all students full scholarships, covering tuition, textbooks, and room and board. The college uses its endowment to cover two-thirds of student costs each year, with the balance coming from private donations and fundraising. Neither the college nor its students accept any form of federal financial aid. Williamson College of the Trades is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology.

Another lesser-known gem in Delco…read more Williamson has a big old beautiful campus across 352 from the Elwyn Campus, outside of Media Borough. Beautiful historic architecture by Frank Furness. They have a great horticultural program here. In retirement, a family member offered intern experiences to students, and taught a little. Through this, I have met students over the years, all were very knowledgeable. Background per their website, "In 1889, just six days before he died, Isaiah Williamson purchased 220 acres of land in Middletown Township, near Elwyn, Pennsylvania for the campus of his new school. Isaiah personally selected the site from over 200 prospective locations. The school's original board of trustees, headed by chairman, John Wanamaker implemented Isaiah's plans and vision for the institution following his death. Renowned Philadelphia architect, Frank Furness won the competition to design the original campus buildings. Ground was broken for the administration building in 1890 and the school opened for classes in 1891. Many of the original buildings are still in use today, functioning as they were originally purposed."
