If I understand correctly you want to do a bootcamp without the intention of getting a job? If you are just starting college, you want to focus on getting top internships each summer as your goal and set yourself up to have the best fit company for you upon graduation lined up. A lot of bootcamps are very focused on getting a job, so most wouldn't be a good fit. Like Codesmith, for example, is one of the top bootcamps for getting a good job, but you spend most of your time building out stuff that is meant to look good on a resume, which won't help. Similar with other bootcamps focused on getting a job. I might consider something like Launch School, where you can work through things at your own pace and ramp up or down. Or maybe just get a head start with some Coursera courses? Google and Facebook have some courses through Coursera. Or work through FreeCodeCamp, OdinProject. If you are starting 4 years of college, then you might want to just pace yourself and start working on impressive unique projects that will help with you get your first internship and that you work on over a long period of time.
