University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I have a sense of pride when talking about returning to school. I have been reminded of how hard work does pay off. It is not easy in anyway, but well worth the effort. I have not felt the pride of bettering myself in a long time, and going back to school has provided that to me again. There is a long road ahead, but I am confident that I will succeed. I take my classes online and I feel that my classmates are also feeling the same feeling of pride I do. We are all there to help each other succeed and to assist each other in any way possible using the format provided to us. My classmates and I are spread across the country yet we are still able to form bonds and friendships that are sure to last a lifetime.

I have increased my knowledge about every subject that I have taken thus far and I still use a lot of the materials that I learned to help me with other classes.

On top of that I was only tested on information that was covered in class so if I did not attend class I would have been studying a lot more information then I needed to know. Attending my classes helped make the subject clearer for me to understand, and it helped me do good in my classes. By me attending class I learned more and passes all of my classes.
