Every day is a learning experience here at Neumont. Coming here with no experience with any of the things they were doing here was a little daunting. I met people with a lot of experience, and others with no experience at all, just like me. Another friend of mine wrote his own antivirus program before even coming here! But the early months of Neumont got me sped up, and keep me sped up on all the new information that is now bursting at the seams from in my brain! The learning experience here is fantastic and if I could rate the school and the staff here, I would give 6 stars!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There has not been one day where I have not been invited to participate in an activity or there's an event that one of the Orders or clubs are hosting. There is always something to do and it is a very tight, close community who all are willing to help each other when/if someone asks.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is a very expensive school. There are a lot of scholarships out there, however, and it just takes the time and effort to get all the free money you need. As for the bang, Neumont university (as of 2010) has a 100% placement for graduates within 6 months of receiving their degree. I have yet to graduate, so I would not know much about what happens then, but Neumont has had a few guest speakers, kids that have graduated from Neumont and have amazing jobs at outstanding companies. They come in and tell us how life is great ever since they put in the effort for their school, and how much it's paid off. Literally and figuratively.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared. This is one hell of a roller coaster and it can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. If you study and prepare and be a good student, things will work out. If you slack off, you're done. There is no leeway for those who just want to coast on by, and get a degree for something. This is an active learning environment. You just have to be a good student, and have common sense. Study for tests, do your homework, and make sure you understand the things that you are doing. There are plenty of tutors and friends that are more than willing to help, as long as you are willing to help.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for those computer-savvy, technical guys who love technology, video games and staying up late. But do not be scared away, thinking you're going to be a shut-in if you come to this school. There are plenty of outdoor-sy activities all around here. There are kids who go running and riding bikes all over the place, there's rock climbing, and snowboarding/skiing. You will never be bored here.
