I wished I knew about all assignments that are due in a weeks time. I think they to many they need only about 4 or 5 lessons and not like the 8 to 10 we get now.

I wish I had listened to my mother and went to school when she was willing to pay for it and continued to live at home rent free! This school is expensive but effective but I started late. Life is real, and it is hard and fast and if you want to get ahead you have to be able to take those hits and keep pushing, no matter how much you want to give up, there is something out there that you can hold on to to get that motivation, us it, and don't ever give up!

The amount of dedication it would need to be successful at this school. I thought an online campus would be a breeze. It is relatively easy but takes a lot of committment to meet deadlines and keep up with the program.

Before attending University of Phoenix-online campus, I wish I had know the cost of their tuition to complete a Bachelor's Degree. Going to school online can be very expensive depending on your major. If I would have know prior to attending, I would have made sure that I applied for various scholarships to help with paying my tuition. I encourage everyone to apply for scholarships so that they are not borrowing so much money in student loans.
Caroline
I wish I had known that they were not a non profit school. I might have chose a non profit school so the classes would have been cheaper.
Charlene
Before I started school I wish I had known how easy it was going to be to enroll, get started, and get accustomed to being back in school. All these years I was so afraid of the cost and the bad what if's and let those fears distract me from a goal I should have completed long ago.
Rebekah
The one thing that I wish I knew prior to starting at the UOP, is that the school is a for-profit school. I was not aware of that before I even started my enrollment.
April
I wish I had known about the 5 week course program. We are allowed to take 1 class every 5 weeks that financial aid will pay for. If you want to take more classes within the 5 weeks it comes out of pocket. With me being so determined and so ready to finish school, I will have to start paying out of pocket for some of my classes if I want to graduate soon. Unfortunately, that is money which I do not have so I will need any scholarship possible to help me pay for school.
Italia
I would want to tell myself to go with my gut and that I can achieve everything I put my mind to. Just because I had learning disabilities does not mean that I couldn't move forward to someday getting my masters in psychology. I would also tell myself that it is important to not let other peoples opinions effect what you want to do with your life.
Molly
I only wish that I had known about this school sooner, and had realized that even though online coursework is time consuming, it is a better alternative for somebody like me, with a busy schedule.

I wish I knew how great of resources that University of Phoenix provided to help with the cold feet of doing this earlier. I must say I am taken away on how great the curiculum is as well how each of my instructors' are there for me to help me achieve my goals.
Bonnie
I wish I had known what I wanted to major in. This school is very expensive so it would have been helpful to determine a major to stick with instead of changing majors.
PameLia
I wish that I had known that this university offers so many resources to its students. The fear that I had of going to college is that I was not smart enough and that I would fail. Little did I know that this university offers workshops for that classes, as well as live 24/7 tutoring. The instructors are very caring and willing to assist at any time. I encourage anyone that is looking to begin college to research this university and call and speak with someone to help with further questions, I gurantee you won't be disappointed.
Molly
Cost of tuition. It has only risen since I started, and it's getting harder and harder to afford. I wish I had been more aware of scholorship options before I started so that I could take advantage of them. It would have helped huge. Now being in college loan debt is stressing me out a lot and it makes it difficult to focus on things that my family needs because all of my funds go to student loans.
Catherine
I wish I had known how much time is involved in full-time online coursework. Online coursework is completely different than taking classes on campus. There is no hands-on experience, which makes it more difficult to completely understand the concepts being taught at times. However, this is challenging and very rewarding.
LaVonne
When I started the University of Phoenix I was an on-ground student, and later moved to the online program. I wish I would have known the amount of teamwork that is required. This University has really encouraged the interaction between students and taught us to relie on one another, and on the importance of teamwork. I also would have liked to known how fast pace the courses are, and that we only have a short amount of time to obtain as much information as possible.
Debra
I had wished i had known more about financial aid and grants .And the interworking of each of them.
Tessa
I wish I would have known that such schools exsisted that I could do all my schooling online. I have always dreamed of being a teacher, but finding the time to go to school was difficult. The closest University to where I live is 90 miles away, so it would be too expensive to drive to that school.
Jennifer
How demanding it was
Lateshia
What i wish i had known is that I could really do this. When I began my BS initially i became so distraught and discouraged, I gave up on myself. If i had the confidence then that I have now I probably would have already finished and be well into my Master's.
