    Extremely Disappointed - Misleading Promises and Unprofessional Conduct…read more I'm a current medical assistant student, and I'm writing this review to share some serious concerns about how this school is being run -- particularly regarding student access to basic resources like the library, and the professionalism of certain staff members. When I toured the school before enrolling, we were told the library was available for student use -- a quiet place to study, research, and complete assignments. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the reality. Recently, students (especially medical students) have been told they can only go into the library to print papers and then leave immediately. Meanwhile, students from other programs are allowed to stay and work. If the rule applies to everyone, then it should apply to everyone. We've also been told we can only use the library during breaks or after school, but then staff turn around and say we can't be there after school if we're making up time. With only a couple of hours after class, it's nearly impossible to get meaningful work done -- especially for students without reliable internet at home. Beyond that, there's a concerning pattern of unprofessional behavior. Some staff members have made comments to students that come off as intimidating or condescending, particularly toward female students. That kind of tone has no place in a professional or educational environment. There have also been multiple complaints from students with documented medical conditions who say their accommodations were denied or dismissed. This is not just unethical -- it could violate federal disability laws (like the ADA and Section 504). And finally, the bathroom policy is unreasonable and borderline demeaning. We're all adults, yet we're being told we can only take 10-minute bathroom breaks, including walking time. For students with medical needs, that's simply not feasible. Overall, there's a major disconnect between what this school promises and what it actually provides. Students deserve consistent policies, equal treatment, and respect -- not confusion, intimidation, or discrimination. If you're considering enrolling here, I'd strongly suggest asking detailed questions about student access, accommodations, and school policies before committing. What's being advertised doesn't match the experience many of us are having.

    1/10 totally do not recommend. I worked in the electrical field, 1st term teachers curse up a storm…read moreand dont really help you. Second term teachers just throw a bunch of information at you and expect you to magically understand it. They gave me 200 question tests then got frustrated that I wasn't passing. 1 teacher in particular ''fletcher'' is completely unprofessional. This man was giving me snark remarks and doubted by ability to do anything in the field. Don't even get me started on education. Overall this school is a huge waste of time if you're looking to get into electrical work, you're better off just getting an apprenticeship

    This school is like high school and has been one of the worst experiences I've been through. I…read moredon't even know where to start but if your ok with wasting your time, this place is for you! I can't believe there's positive reviews here as if the director pays people to write 5 star reviews. The instructor is very hard to work with as far as asking her questions and doing clinical, she will literally treat you like trash if your unaware of something that she didn't teach you. She would waste the majority of class time talking about her personal life and 4 ex husbands that she had or talking about other students. There has been times where I'd come in early before class start to study for that days quiz or test in the break room, and she would come interrupt me without saying good morning but jump straight into gossiping. She was more interested in talking terrible about students than talking about what your lost on or need improvement on. She cried to me saying that we're the worst class she's ever had and she cant wait for us to leave this course. She does the same to other students as well, she' would try to be on everyone's good side by talking about students to other students. Well my class end up failing with just two people left to graduate from 7 people who started. They wait until the last minute to update grades but will make it seem like your passing or have the potential to bring your grade up then boom... last week of the course; here's comes the academic probation or the concerns all of a sudden. Also, there's favoritism here so be aware! I have been coming on time everyday, doing my homework and clinical, the only downfall was that I wasn't best at the exams, but from my understanding, the instructor said master everything and try your best come on time then you'll pass! Which I've been doing so That's a big lie, the director failed me 3 days before graduation. There's students there with bad attendance that end up staying because of favoritism. They'll pass who they want to pass! The reason they do this is because your so far into the semester that you can't get your refund back! The director is unorganized and money hungry. She's another person that can't take simple feedback about her school from students. She'll literally talk over you and argue with you without hearing you out completely. She sits in-front of you crunching on her chips while your trying to talk to her.. seriously learn some manners. I hope this school gets it together because this is not how you train students for the work field, more like training people how to fail and drama after drama. Even though the ending was terrible here with me failing and happening to waste my money paying them back for little knowledge, I'm excited to be out of this trash whole and moving on.

    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.
