Time management is crucial, video games have to be set aside to get work done, and don't be afraid to ask for help. You have a wide range of options to get help. Help can come from a tutor, your instructor (or any instructor that understands the the coding language in general), or any student/friend. Keep this in mind that this won't be like high school anymore, this where you will be treated like an adult and are expected to act/ live like one. One more thing, get use to working in groups, you will sometimes need to work in groups to do well. You won't always work with the same people, get use to working in different groups.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The school is very challenging, a lot of hands-on learning. if you have the determination and will-power to learn then you should be safe. Yet there are those who don't tale it seriously and decide to slack off or procrastinate and then they get hit by reality. To be honest, it hurts seeing them drop out or struggle, but it's more of a reason to do our best, so we don't end up that way.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It's great though this can depend on who your roommates are, I lived in student housing and its not that bad. Rooms and Kitchen is good, once you get use to living there it'll just be like home. If you don't like where your living at, then you can move out into a different room or a different apartment, of course you'll need to give the school a two week notice. The school should help you move out as well. The student housing areas located in convenient areas where there's easy access to Transit (Trains), restaurants and other stores.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
You have a variety of different options, it can come down to burgers from McDonald's, hot dogs from a Hot Dog Stand(Same with tacos), or pretty much any restaurant from the food court at the mall which is pretty close to the school. The school also has a food market for a student's convenience. The student housing areas have easy access to restaurants, but making yourself lunch is also an option (you also save money).
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
You have clubs you can join that have their own events, the school events that can range from foam battles, game night, and Video Game Tournaments, and my personal favorite type of fun is going down to the bunker (game room) and just play Super Smash Bros. during lunch with other students. Of course the city itself hosts events as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Our unusual tradition will have to be the moment the school had gained its first mascot the lasted for maybe about 3 days. Though I wasn't enrolled at the school when it happened, the students had been given the chance to vote for a mascot. The mascot that had won was the Neumont Llamas, but for marketing reasons (such as having llamas for mascot might make businesses take us seriously) they canceled the mascot. Though it isn't official the students at Neumont still take pride in being the Neumont llamas.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you like Technology, coding, and games this pretty much the place for you. Though the school portrays itself as a geek school (in a way it's a geek school), this itself isn't true due to the fact that we get a good amount of diversity of personalities in school, yet we all get along well together.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Not the best security, but i will say it's not far from it! We use to have a temporary security guard until we got an official security guard who can be seen at the front of the entrance. The doors as well are pretty secure, if your a student you'll need to get in by scanning your ID through 2 sets of doors if the first one isn't open yet. A stranger will have to talk to the receptionist through a intercom to get in.
