I found myself unemployed wanting to go into another career path or just gain more skills. When I started going to Kaplan it was more of the convenience of attending a school online, as I have a disability that prevents me from leaving my home. Attending classes online with Kaplan gives me the opportunity to gain great knowledge, meet new people, and succeed in my classes. You are able to do everything right from your computer, but do not think that you are alone. There is an endless amount of support when questions arise or you need help with anything. Kaplan is a great university to attend to gain skills, knowledge, and the ability to advance in your career while still keeping up with an ever changing life schedule.

The main reason I chose this school is due to the admissions adviser. His name was Andryu and he gave me his own personal advice when I was considering what courses to take and even gave me honest research websites to use when comparing Kaplan to other schools. I was able to review other student reviews as well as financial aid reviews.

I decided to go to this school because with me being a mommy I had to go where I was still able to attend to my children but go to school as well. Going to school online I do not have to worry about a babysitter ever. Seminars are always held at a time/day that is convenient for me and I can do my class work while my children are at school and I still have plenty of time with my family. If you're are someone with no kids but you work, you can do your classwork around your work schedule. Making Kaplan University online a great option for those who work but also want to go to school.

I personally decided to go to KU after speaking with many online and traditional colleges. I am 36 years old at present, so the want to not have to deal with "children" was greater than the want of comraderie, at least for my Undergraduate Degree. Several of the other colleges I looked into were going to cost the same, and, a few of them required you to be a full time employee while going to school. I'm a full time college student (I don't work much, odd jobs here and there) and my Financial Aid package allows me to do so and take care of my bills while in school. Also, at the time I applied with Kaplan they had a higher retention rate and graduation rate than many of the other online colleges. It has since fell quite a bit, but that may be primarily due to the economy and people's inability to get jobs to pay for schooling (those that can't get Fin. Aid.).
