I remember thinking in the beginning that an online University may not give me as thorough knowledge as a physical campus. All of that has been shot out of the water. I am learning a lot. The classes seem to be thoroughly researched.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I definitely enjoy being at U of P. I do not have a car right now. Trying to continue my education elsewhere would have been a headache. Not only that, but I had a great academic counselor that pretty much held my hand in the beginning. I honestly never received such treatment from a physical campus. I'm not saying you can't. I'm merely speaking of my experience.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I think I am getting a quality education. I do wish, though, that for what I am paying, that they would also have recorded online lectures to help hit a lot of the information home that we read in our texts. That is my only complaint.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Expect to do a lot of reading. If you enjoy reading, there should be no problem. If you do not enjoy reading, learn to. It is needed in order to be very successful in your classes.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I'm not clear on what this question is asking. The online campus is great for busy individuals or for those who do not want to go traipsing across a campus.
