Neumont College of Computer Science

I love this school. It's easy to underestimate the real difference this place makes in its students' lives. It's a phenomenal school. I speak as a graduate whose life was changed by what I learned here.

Just about to finish my degree at Neumont, and honestly, it's been a great experience. If you can afford it, or you're a Utah resident, I definitely recommend it if you're looking to work in the tech field. The staff is amazing and are willing to work with you. The students are into just about everything nerdy, so you'll find a group of people that click with you.

It's college... for CS students. I decided that this was not the right career path for me. In Neumont you will start with all the same classes before you choose your degree - there are only five programs here, no joke. The teachers do care about your success and it does help a lot, but many classes do assign student graders/tutors which can be a bit more frustrating to deal with. I had a student grader who would give me a 0 on an assignment and then not re-grade it when it was submitted... Neumont College isn't the right fit for everyone. It's more expensive than the U of U, which is said to have a great CS program. Everything moves a mile a minute starting 2nd Quarter, and the pace can be overwhelming for some people. If you're considering Neumont, I HIGHLY recommend self-studying Java BEFORE you get here so that you can have a much easier time passing CS110 and CS150. I absolutely wish I knew more about programming going in. Furthermore there just aren't that many girls at this school. The nerd culture is strong here though so if you like to play Magic The Gathering, Smash Bros or League of Legends, etc there's a club for you. And even if you don't, everyone will be able to understand you a bit better than normal people would. On a worse note though, the roommates I got apparently saw chores as a foreign concept, so sometimes I ended up doing all the cleaning in every area except the other bedroom and its bathroom...

very cash money indeed

My son started Neumont this year. Neumont has made me feel very comfortable leaving my son 2000 miles away from home. They have so many services available to help him adjust to adult life. So very impressed. Also impressed that the school's focus is on preparing him for a productive career while also encouraging appropriate use of down time. We visited several other schools where the focus was on clubs, extra-curricular activities, social life, sports, and how easy success would be; not very real world. Neumont made it clear it would not be easy, but also made it clear that those who want to succeed will be given every possible support they can need to do so. The best place for him.
