I don't know about your school the projects we worked on compared to a boot camp were very different. For example, one boot camp a friend took spent an entire 4 week session iterating on a single project, that would have been a 1 week homework assignment at my school. I think that the high level courses are able to go much deeper due to their respective topics than "coding" specific schools that are faster. It's my opinion that the majority of learning took place in those late night lab sessions trying to meet a deadline, and not in the classroom.

That [0] is a school assignment. Granted it's two weeks.

On top of a full course load, of course, so they have a few like these in parallels. I don't think there's any bootcamp out there that has that.
