    Edit: written in early July on Google…read more This is a review only of the admissions process. N.B.: I'm already admitted, so this is in no way affecting my admissions. I just hope this helps people trying to choose a bootcamp (there are so many out there now). The Flatiron School offers programming bootcamps: Multi-week, 9am-6pm immersive in-person programs as well as flexible online courses. I had been following Flatiron for over a year when I learned some weeks ago that it's coming to Houston. It had originally appeared on my radar because it was one of the only schools at the time that 1) had built their own learning environment (like CodeAcademy's, but better, with a browser-based IDE), 2) had the size and history of operations to command the price tag and offer scholarships of various kinds, 3) achieved a 97% post-program hiring rate, and, perhaps as a result, 4) was one of the top 5 bootcamp programs as rated by SwitchUp. https://www.switchup.org/research/best-coding-bootcamps The tl; dr version is that the Flatiron team is awesome, I got in, and I start classes in ten days. But more importantly, I want to discuss how personal the whole Flatiron experience has been. Once I learned about the Houston launch via MeetUp, I went to the WeWork space to meet the team. Both Houston WeWork buildings (one near Main St. in Downtown and the other at the Galleria) are beautiful spaces. Flatiron really put in the effort to boost the new Houston campus and community; I first met Jeanette and Trey of the Houston team on the night that their CEO flew down. They since have organized and led events multiple times a week, and upon talking to them and learning about the Facebook scholarship, I applied right away. The application is a four-step process: 1) Written application; 2) Initial (fit?) interview; 3) Prework: the preceding step to the technical interview is Flatiron's bootcamp prep course, free and available online. This alone is already great learning. And whether you really have learned it or not comes through - ideally - at your: 4) Technical interview. They say that when a startup launches, a hundred champions of the company are better than a thousand users. I am that willing champion for Flatiron. Why I'm sitting here writing this lengthy review on volition is because my whole interview experience - from getting to know the team to finishing my interview - has been beyond incredible. The people at Flatiron go out of their way to cheer for you. They don't front - the work is rigorous, and the interviewers grill you enough to gauge whether you'll be able to handle it - but they are professional, kind, and encouraging throughout the process. It was readily apparent to me that Flatiron has a phenomenal team of people with strong communication and pride in their work. That, for me, already built credibility and faith in the education I would be receiving. Furthermore, I appreciated how everyone went the extra mile to really hear my story and check in on me to see that I'm staying on track through the prep. I truly felt supported - and, as a result, became more invested. When was the last time you had people outside your group of friends and family root for your success - and so earnestly? I never thought I would be so moved by complete strangers in an application process to a bootcamp. Well, strangers no more. I'll be seeing them for at least 525 hours. I am also grateful to Facebook for sponsoring the inaugurating Houston class. I fully understand that someone/some people at Flatiron worked hard to pioneer and maintain that relationship - whoever they are, I am deeply grateful for making life changes possible. If I sound way emotional - I am! I've been trying for years to get an edtech idea off the ground - and now I get to learn to build it myself! From a team of really awesome people! Flatiron, thank you for everything you're doing to offer people chances to make a change :) Can't wait for classes to start!

    The distorted mix of 1-star and 5-star reviews should have been an early warning sign for me that…read morethings are not what they appear at Flatiron School. Flatiron is marketed as a school for all (based on its pictures and website), but in reality, I felt like I was walking into a Jewish yeshiva. The culture is cult-like and toxic, driven by a fear of not fitting in or falling in line. Their curriculum is also mostly self-taught... there are better learning environments, for sure, where they're not just looking to take your money.

    I genuinely have no words for this campus, I came here for only one semester and they found a way…read moreto ruin my college experience and scam me out of thousands of dollars. My food card would deactivate randomly and I would go days without food, my card for the garage would malfunction and I would be locked in the garage because of this, I had my belongings stolen from roommates that I was paired with and when I made a report they did nothing about it, I moved into their dorms only to move in with an old friend of mine, and they went out of their way to make sure I did not get a dorms with him even though all the requirements were met. This school struggles in the class departments too, I have had the displeasure of meeting quite a few nasty professors and find it disheartening for all the students here. I was charged for 2 years of dormitory and a meal plan even though I was only there for one and when I went to dispute the charge they simply ignored my email and then sent me an email to pay it back and said it was to late to dispute the charges. I honestly recommend no one goes to this location for their schooling and I hope this school finds new management because it is just a money hungry organization that does not care about its students.

    University of Houston campus is very nice! Since I was in town for the AAU Junior Olympics. I…read moredecided to drive around and take my own tour of campus. The university has top notch facilities. I would love to come back for a real campus tour!
