Review of Western Governors University

from Middle River, MN

Describe your college in three sentences.

awesome on-line school for those who have family, jobs or require flexibility. mentors are very supportive and always available. you must be self motivated to succeed at on-line learning though.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

call and talk with the course mentors ifyou have any questions or problems. they will explain it till you get it!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
