Kaplan University-Hagerstown Campus Top Questions

The students are like family. We communicate very well with each other. There are no group assignments or group projects at Kaplan, but we stay in contact with each other very well. If someone has a question about an assignment, seminar, etc we make sure everyone in the class gets the information via email, phone call, text or anyway possible. Most of the students are from all over the country. There is a large part of the student body in the military so they attend online class overseas. Being a single parent, attending online is easy for me. There are many other students like me who are single parents or just dont have time to go to a classroom. This is why we have such a common bond among one another.

The online Kaplan I have come to know well, has many different people, we all come from different back grounds, different religion. That's what makes Kaplan a wonderful experience.

We are a unique and diverse group of adult learners that in many ways understand what we need to do as students, now that we are older, that when we were fresh out of high school. Also we generally want to be active participating in our education to get the most out of it.

Students at Kaplan University Online are from all walks of life. From high school students entering college for the first time, to single moms trying to make a better life for their family, even members of our military attend Kaplan. An online setting takes away all of the social stressors found at traditional campus based universities.

One of the best things about an online environment is that you do not have the racial ,religious, or socioeconomic prejudice you might experience on campus. I wear my pajamas to most classes and am relaxed in my recliner with my books, paper and pencil. If I get hungry during a seminar I eat, if thirsty I get a drink. Most students are very driven in their career goals are very excited to complete their studies and excel in the online environment. I have met some awesome individuals both facility and peers. For me Kaplan has been a blessing.

I have not had a bad experience in school with any student or faculty. Witht he exception of one time but it was a simple misunderstanding and it was resolved. Any student looking for a good time and not serious about their education would feel out of place in school.

I can't really tell you what type of students the school has because Kaplan University welcomes everyone!

It is a very diverse group in my classes, and I love it. I enjoy hearing different points of view and learning different cultural things. I like online classes because people aren't judged by their looks, how they dress, or what they drive. All we can see is their great work and discussions. The students are from everywhere from California to Virginia. This is another great advantage because we can learn about different job availability and all kinds of things from different places around the U.S.

This question is kind of hard to answer since I am only online. I don't ever interact physically with any students. I do feel in our discussions that there are many different people that all have different views on a subject. This is great for having a discussion and to read how others react to certain topics. Most are in the same boat as me trying to better themselves and find a job.
