Neumont College of Computer Science

-TLDR, come here if you're ready and responsible enough to buckle down and learn a LOT of good things and make big career connections.- This is a great school that will get you up into advanced tech fields by working you HARD and FAST. You will get unbeatable IT network connections to big companies and insights, especially from their own in-house hosted tech talks from companies like Sony Entertainment and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to name a few. They try their best to help you if you're new and willing to work hard- but do NOT come here if you have low work ethic, are addicted to video games, or if you're even unsure about a tech career, especially if you're fresh from High School. Do not get into $80,000 of debt all because it was your fault for not being ready like me at first. If in doubt, wait first or try testing your knowledge by getting a basic technology certification you have to pay money for like any of Microsoft's if you want to try the waters. The opportunities plug you into big careers is incredible and the kids I learned with were straight up geniuses. Parting notes: Get CE certificates while you're learning here to get the upper-edge against other job applicants. This is a school that specializes IT so you will pay high prices to be in high places and their GE classes are bent towards IT which is great since traditional college GE classes are boring and worthless. Also, despite what marketing tells you, there is NO alumni support. Kinda bummed being lied to about that, so minus one star.

This is my first year at Neumont and I have been absolutely loving it. I recommend this school to anyone who is even interested in Computer Science. Everything about this school I have came to seriously love. The faculty and staff put in so much effort. I’ve made so many life long friends. If you are so much as considering coming please come to frex(the freshman event). I love this school so so much.

Neumont is a amazing place to work. A college that knows who you are individually as a student and builds staff and program support around knowing its students.

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...

Studying at Neumont was a very enjoyable experience. As long as you're willing to put in the time and effort, you can learn a lot in a short time. I liked the focus on almost always working on projects in groups as well, and being able to get a taste of real-world projects before graduating. The only reason it gets knocked down a star is that a lot of administrative stuff makes it apparent that the school for-profit. Thankfully, the staff generally demonstrate that they care about the students, so some of that is mitigated through them. Overall, I'd recommend it.

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.

2015 NU grad. NU was a good choice for me, but isn't for everyone. NU offered many opportunities to go above and beyond. I highly recommend verifying that coding is interesting before picking NU. If you want a faced paced environment to learn coding that allows going above and beyond then NU might be right for ya. Side notes: I haven't attended any other colleges so I don't have any comparisons original review Currently a student at Neumont. There are some amazing teachers here and lots of opportunity for assistance. Neumont is a for profit college so it isn't cheap, but that also means that it is in their best interest to get their students the best education and into the workforce. I have seen many graduates being fought over for jobs. I'm looking forward to continuing my education under this great institution.

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.

well, Neumont University is a fun and fast paced learning environment focusing in Computer Science and Business. I am currently seven quarters into the ten quarter, two and a half year, Bachelors in Computer Science. Thus far I have learned a lot about programing and good practice. I have also had experience working in project teams and focusing on how we will be working in industry. Thanks

As a current student Neumont is great! Neumon has small class sizes, around 30 students, so the teachers really get to know you. You also have multiple classes with the same teachers so they get to learn your learning style to make the material as easy as possible while still being challenging. That being said Neumont isn't for everyone. This school is what I like to call a fire hose of knowledge. Since you are only in a class for a maximum of 10 weeks and have to put an entire semester of knowledge into those 10 weeks the classes go by quickly. There have been multiple weeks where I haven't gotten any free time and have just been working on school projects. Neumont isn't a normal college. If you want the "college experience" of partying, drinking, football games, etc. Neumont definitely isn't that. If you are looking for a school to coast through Neumont isn't that either. I am constantly working on at least 2 projects at any given point, and they all have hard deadlines like the real world. Neumont has a great setting right in the heart of salt lake city which makes going out for lunch/dinner really easy. Its also filled to the brim with nerds so you'll have to get used to that if you aren't already. The teachers also cater the classes to what the students want to learn. One of my favorite teachers will ask if we have questions on with anything we've worked with and bend the class incorporate that thing. An example of this is at the beginning of the quarter most of us, CS students who hadn't done a bunch of group projects, didn't know how to use GIT. So our instructor made an assignment to get us used to the basics of GIT then made most of the projects for the class require groups. This not only taught us the new language we were learning, it also helped us get familiar with GIT. TLDR: Neumont is great if you can keep up. If you aren't willing to give up weeks at a time you will fall behind. If you are willing to do that then you will most likely succeed and have job offerings before you graduate like I have.

Well, I received a "typical four year computer science education" and then found Neumont. Neumont has a much better hands-on teaching model aligned to industry need. Neumont incorporates all aspects of what makes a good developer with …

There are a lot of things that I like about this school and some things that I also dislike. …

After attending FREX (freshman experience/ campus tour) I am so much more at ease about sending my son 800 miles from home. The support, community, and focus on succesful self sufficiency at time of graduation are amazing to learn about. …

I'm giving this school a bad rating because of the high cost of tuition and the high demand of this school. I went to the a quick interview with an admissions rep from this school about 8 years ago. I asked how much? He seemed pretty …

Looks like an awesome college to go to for game design however the parking is horrible you would have to park in paid parking downtown or go to city creek mall to park. The campus should be moved to a better area that's not so hard to find …

This college has amazing teachers and resources. I'm only in my first year and I love it! If you are wanting a CS degree in a beautiful city, this is the place.

Neumont is a Salt Lake City meca for technology education. Located in the heart of downtown, there is always plenty to do after class.

I don't recommend. You can achieve these degrees/certificates from a cheaper University. Newmont offers the same education as many other recognized universities.

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.

i got the pamphlet and information to this university and i instantaneously fell in love with the concept and majors that this university offers. I am a junior going to a senior and i know this is the college i would love to attend.
