University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Sharon

The amount of research and writing required for each class.

Roger

A better idea of the online platform and a more thorough unerstanding of time management. The overall experience was wonderful and testing at the same time!

Jacqueline

I wish I had known passion the way I do now, with understanding and empathy of others. I wish I had been less afraid when I returned to college, more sure of myself, and with a better understanding of who I am. However, returning to college has helped me find myself and finally become a "grown up". I wish I had taken more time after high school before going to college, I'm glas I'm back in school. I wish I would have known how dissapointed by parents were when I left school the first time.

Kathleen

I had a pretty good insight into the school, as several people I know have attended it. I felt well informed.

Erica

I honestly wish I had known just how much work it would take. When I originally registered I was told by the Academic Counselor that her A students spent about 15 hours a week on their course reading and work. I found that it was a lot more than this to actually read the course material versus just skimming it for answers.

I wish I would have known that my finances would be so bad that I have to take out more loans to pay them. it's a struggle and I am very stress, where it is interferring with my work.

Stephanie

I wish that I had known a little more about online schooling. I am very satified with the courses, however the communication is very different than I had expected. In stead of getting to talk directly to your classmates you post messages. This in not a negative thing just different. I would have like to have known this before starting so that it wasn't such a learning process. I feel that I would be more confident if I had asked a few more questions and researched a little more.

Cynthia

The academic team assigned to me fully prepared me for the academic experience at this school.

Christina

I wish I had better access to scholarship information at the beginning of my program.

Rachel

How long it would have taken to get back into school after high school graduation. I feel that so much time has been wasted, and I have so much time to make up for.
