\u201cWait, so you are trading your life here in Tallinn for some programming school in IDA-VIRUMAA?\u201d – said all of my friends. And I assume many of you are thinking the same. And I was too. But what helped me take a leap decision to be an onsite student is the emotional craving for a community during pandemic times. The Selection Sprint showed that what makes this school amazing and different is the team work, learning in teams and shared struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyday life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though I still was hesitant to move to a somewhat boring and unknown part of Estonia. But you know what? I wouldn’t have studied as well in Tallinn, as I do here. There are no distractions here. You have nowhere to run, life is slow. But when you want to have fun – living in such a remote location only helps you to be creative and come up with interesting solutions with people inside the campus. But when we do go outside, we enjoy the walks near the sea in Sillam\u00e4e, we play disc golf in M\u00e4etaguse, drive to Narva or J\u00f5hvi for lunch. Or even destress after intense periods in the SPAs or on the gorgeous beach of Narva-J\u00f5esuu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the amazing things here is that you can shape and form your experience at school the way you want. Staff is very supportive. Want to have girls only chat-and-paint night? They will buy you materials! Want to do sports every week? Rented a sports hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who loves hosting social activities and seeing people grow and expand their horizons I love being a part of this. In the last 6 months we have started a dancing club, yoga and stretching club, regular mindfulness practices and painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-creating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what is most important is that we feel heard and supported. School is always open to propositions. Our feedback is constantly valued and based on that made changes. Being here feels less like battling with the system and old rules, and more like a community effort to build a better place for all of us and future students. I really don’t feel a wall between us and the staff that works here. They attend our events and goof around with us in the kitchen. But they will come forward when help is needed or just to listen to us whine about how we\u2019re struggling. Team room is always open for us to hang out there with free cookies and tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waiting for new kood\/\u2019ers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why we are excited to welcome all of you guys here! We can’t wait for the Selection Sprints<\/a> to start this year to relive the same emotions we had experienced once, again with new people! We really want to share from the bottom of our hearts how amazing this school is with as many people as possible! So please, please APPLY<\/a>! We will welcome you with open hands. YOU! Don\u00b4t hesitate, if you are thinking if it’s something for you or not. Come and live through the mini version of the school during the Sprint<\/a> in April or Summer and bombard us with as many questions as you want. We will answer them all and be there for you. And only then make your final decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bigger the community the better the school will be! Come and help us build it together. Let’s make history!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
