Kaplan University-Hagerstown Campus Top Questions

Since I am doing an online program....I think that a stereotype is that students are all workers with families and careers who are trying to expand their education. I find a lot of my fellow classmates all have such experiences. But that makes it wonderful! I have had the honor of learning with those in the military, parents, grandparents and various careers. It brings many different perspectives to the table.

I do not think that there is a stereotype as you might think like geeks or jocks but rather I think that there are people who assume going to school online is easier. I can tell you that this is not accurate. I have been a student for a little over three years now and while I love being able to turn in my work at different times of the day nothing else is easier. You have to be self-disciplined and know how to manage your time. You do not go to a classroom where you can sit down and have someone looking at you telling you to do this. So in conclusion there will always be stereotypes wherever you go but that does not mean you should listen to them. I know I am glad I didn't.

Stereotype at Kaplan University are everyday people there is not an accurate stereotype is very diverse.

Since I'm an online student I have come to learn that the most common stero-type would be the 'Dinosaurs' such as myself. The older students.

I don't think there are stereotypes attached to Kaplan University. I have never heard of any.

I think people have the misconception that online students have it easier, when in fact we really don't. We have strict deadlines that we have to stick to. If our work isn't submitted on time we get penalized for it. Unlike on campus schooling, if we miss a class we have to make it up or we lose points for that as well.

I study online, however, from the friends I have made most are parents. Parents is not a stereotype, but I don't believe the typical stereotype fits in this new era where school is done online.

There is not really a stereotype at my school as everyone is there to complete schooling while living there life.

Well I feel as though that there's different kinds of people that attend my school. There's people that work a nine to five job to people that have been in some kind of army or military branch part of their life.

When I tell individudals that I attend college I often get asked the question where? Once I tell them I attend Kaplan Univeristy and my program is 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} online I get comments such as "online colleges are cookie cutter school", "online is easy", or "can you really get a real degree"? Most people steroytpe online students as being lazy. However, this type of steroptype is far from the truth! My boyfriend attends a local college and after hearing his experiences I have never seen such an unorganized college! He made the comment to me a few days ago that he can see why everyone looks so upset when they do graduate from his college. I am very impressed my Kaplan University and feel that I am getting top notich education from highly trained professors! I proudly tell everyone that I attend Kaplan Univeristy!

At Kaplan University online, there is no stereotyping in our class forums. We all share our different opinions, and we respect each other.

Since I am an online student it is hard to say about the different sterotypes that can be found at Kaplan. I can say that that there are students from all walks of like, all ages, and at all level of experiences. I am in the Information technology field so I could say we were all geeks which is the sterotype for it. But I have found that you cannot lump all people interested in technology as geeks. Take me I do not think I should be considered a geek just because I have an interest in learning the ever increasing technology of today. I find technology very interesting and enjoy learning more about it.

Since attending Kaplan University online, I have noticed that there isn't a sterotype here. We come from a variety of backgrounds and environments. I have met other students that are parents and achieving their degree here as well as others who work fulltime and find this the best way to achieve their education through Kaplan. We do have our share of comedians though, which makes class even more lively.

The thing I love about Kaplan University is the fact everybody I talk to, whether it be staff or students, are that they seem happy all the time. Distance learning gives me the opportunity to interact with many different people quickly. The downside is that I never really get to develop a substantial relationship with them because we are always moving on to something else. Another class, or another tool we need to learn gets in the way of personalization. The typical student, in my opinion, is someone like me who is taking advantage of a unique opportunity to learn through the internet where we might not have had the chance to do so because of our geographical location. I can't say enough good things about Kaplan. I'm really happy to be here.

Since I attend Kaplan in the online environment, I have often been told that I am just too lazy to go to an actual campus. I truly think that this stereotype is definitely incorrect because you have to be disciplined to attend classes online. You have to be focused and committed to your education in order to be successful on an online environment.

Well honestly I don't think I could answer that due to I do online classes and to me all students are hard working and parents of kids or students who just want to better themselves and pursue a career.

I go to school at Kaplan University. However, I must confess my classes are online. We hear many stereotypes about online schools. While some may wonder how in what we learn, I would argue the program is equally as challenging as a traditional school. In fact, I believe it is the future with many traditional schools in addition to major Universities going to online programs as well. For me personally I know I am getting my money’s worth. Kaplan has quality instructors as well as outstanding resources to enhance the learning. Grades are earned and not given however the quality resources gives you the ability to achieve the impossible.
