University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I wish that I had known you could take a break after each set of classes. However, had I known that, I would not have finished with my Associate's as fast as I have.

I wish I had known about how much more simple working and going to school would be prior to coming to this school. Working forty hours a week is tough - the thought of going back to school after dropping out before intimidated me. However, my advisors and instructors have helped me find a way to better myself as an employee and student by finding techniques that will help me be able to earn my degree while working.

I wish I would have known how much the tuition rates were going to raise for this school. Because I took a break from school my tuition rates did not lock in. I am paying twice the amount that I did in 2007 when I started. It pays to stick with it.

I wish I had known that all classes required team based learning. It is often frustrating as it is an online campus, and working at my own pace was the main reason for pursuing this method of continuing my education.

I wish I would have known about this school when I got out of college, that way I could have started right away at my degree instead of struggling for a year and a half to find out what I wanted to do.

Before coming to this school, I wish that I had known how expensive it was. Sure, completing the online courses is very easy due in part to the flexibility it provides; however, that convenience comes at a premium. As a stay at home mom my options were limited, and overall I really have enjoyed the online classroom experience. Taking just two courses at a time for each half of a semester allows for me to focus and maintain quality performance.

I wish I would have known how much it was going to cost me. The expenses along have made me completely broke, making it almost impossible to recieve any more financial aid to continue on to a Masters program. I did like the flexibility of the school and being able to get my assignments done at home. As a single parent it was conveinent.

too early to tell

I wish I had known what classes I needed to take in order to graduate.

I wish I would have known how complex the student loan process and classes could be. Online classes are much harder because you have to make the time to participate in class room discussions and in your learning team environments. Student loans cover some costs, but the majority of money for school comes out of my own pocket because I have a job. This makes it very difficult when deciding on whether to pay a bill or keep up on the tuition at school.
