Term 2 review | Term 3 review | Term 4 Review

Hello there!

My name’s Nicole Ventura, and I’m a student currently studying New Media Design and Web Development at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. I’m a soon-to-graduate aspiring UI/UX Designer, and I couldn’t be more excited about it!

I graduated highschool only last year, and knew pretty quickly what I wanted to do with my life. I have always been the creative type — finding the need to use my imagination and constantly create something new. I have also always been extremely into technology! Ever since I was in middle school I would be on top of reading tech blogs about things I was interested in, watching Apple’s WWDC and Google I/O streams, and just being excited about what I could do with technology in general. Throughout my highschool years, I was pondering how I could fuse my love for creativity with my love with technology — and came across the perfect program for me at BCIT, New Media Design and Web Development!

I’m now entering the fourth term of this program tomorrow, and am extremely pleased and proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. I should have started this blog a long, long time ago — but it’s never too late.

Before I entered this program, I scoured the internet left and right for any information I could find on it. I found a lot of useful stuff! However, the content is pretty outdated now (i’m talking stuff from 2014 and earlier… no thank you!). I feel like it’s now time for me to give the internet an updated version on this program now. I want to help others considering going into this program decide whether they feel like it’s the right fit for them or not.

So, this is my review of Term 1 of the New Media Design and Web Development program. I’ll be reviewing terms 2, 3, and 4 very soon as well. I hope you enjoy reading and I hope this helps people considering whether or not to apply to this program!
