Hi, just a note that this Bootcamp at UCF is operated by Trilogy and is common across many schools, so the reputation of the University isn't really relevant to the bootcamp itself.
There was a recent article in the WSJ about this: [https://www.wsj.com/articles/that-fancy-university-course-it-might-actually-come-from-an-education-company-11657126489](https://www.wsj.com/articles/that-fancy-university-course-it-might-actually-come-from-an-education-company-11657126489)
I'm not judging the programs here, but just clarify that point because it sounds like you might be making your decision partly because of the school's reputation.

Hey! Thanks for this! I agree, you’re right and this is very good to know. I’ll check out thee article. It’s a third party company but the way UCF operates I like. I live fairly local too and have friends that are students there so perhaps that’s where a lot of my decision came f

Yeah read the article, so it's basically a completely separate program that's not affiliated with UCF other than some of the student funding aspects. The problems outlined above are that a lot of people feel mislead by the both the school and by Trilogy. Students find out the school has nothing at all to do with the bootcamp and have been fairly enraged, and the school's name doesn't matter either.... Trilogy just pays the school to use the school's name (and not the other way around).
So you should be researching Trilogy rather than UCF.
