Frontrange Community College • Westminster, CO
Studying Computer Science (completion in 1996)
• 11/16/2011
"It got me a foot in the door. I'm not sure I've actually used much of what I learned in school though."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | I would recommend a more IT focused program. Studying computer science is massive overkill for an network admin job. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | I really have no idea. I went to a community college when I lived in Colorado and I've changed states three times since. I don't keep up with it. |
| Program Quality | 8 | It provided me with some of the basics. I feel I learned a lot more while actually working in real life though. |
| Instruction | 4 | At the time, there were not any IT-focused programs. I've had to learn most of what I know while on the job. |
| How Difficult | 5 | It was mostly programming and software based. Not much hardware study. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was mostly book learning. I did have to do a lot of hands on stuff on my own to apply what I learned in the books. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | I had to go to class every day, it seems pretty standard to me! |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | Getting new computers and such was no easy task back then. I'm sure now they have more donation channels and such. Most of my work was completed on my own computers. |
| Social Life | 5 | It's a community college, there wasn't really any athletic or organized events as at a four year school. |
| Placement Services | They may have a good program for all I know now. Back when I went though, I don't recall any sort of job placement program. | |
| Alumni Network | I haven't used the alumni network. I'm not sure one even exists. |

| Social Life | 8 | The social experience was great. Parties were fun. |
| Placement Services | 8 | Job placement was okay. Could have more on-campus recruiting. |
