"The relationships built between bootcamp instructor and student are deeper than those between college professors and their students. The advice is solid too, because instructors come from the actual industry the students are trying to get into."

The relationships exist in academia too, but the students have to want to them. As a PhD student with actual industry experience I make sure I have room for at least 3-4 undergrads during any given quarter. We love research in my lab, but we also respect mentorship.
