University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

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

Jessica

I wish I would have known that I needed to fill out more scholarships and requested more school funding.

Richard

The grading system for the particpation in Learning Team projects is not fair and is irrelavant.

Nikki

How much work went into it. Working full time and going to school can be rather difficult

Cynthia

I wish I would have realized earlier on in my life, it is ok to go to college in your late twenties, thirties, or later. Procrastination gets you no where, and the earlier one gets an educaton the better their life can be. Furthermore, I wasnt aware older people can receive financial aid and grants to assist them with their degrees and UoP let me know that anyone can get aid, if they qualify, regardless of age.

Samantha

I wish I had attended school sooner, not waited so long after graduating high school

Paulina

That is was availible to me sooner.

Sarah

Bef ore I came to this school, I wish I had known more about financial aid and the admissions process. It was so easy to talk with a representative and get started. I should have done it a year ago. I went to a community college near my home and transfered all my credits over to Axia college (online campus). I wish I knew more about fiancial aid instead of just getting student loans. I knew I was eligible for grants and scholarships; however, I was not sure how what the process was.

Jessie

I wish I knew how easy the transition would have been to come back to get my higher education as a working adult. I would have returned sooner and not have waited so long to begin the process of achieving my bachelors degree. If I had known I would be meeting the people I have met from students to faculty I would have started back sooner. If I knew the amount of support I have received from financial guidance to academic guidance I would have returned sooner.

Morris

I wish I had learned about this school earlier. Online schools are a great alternative instead of going to a tradfitional college. I also wish I had known exaclty what direction I wanted to take in life. It is better to leave high school and enter college knowing what career field you want to go into. Changing majors in the middle of your college career wastes time and money. The faster you get out of college and find a job the faster you can start paying off those college expenses.

Casey

I wish that I knew that one day I would be back in school so I would have completed college right out of high school. My father died in my senior year and I dropped out of college my freshman year to try and help my mother make the bills. If I knew that I would be back in school at 30 years old I would have completed it then.
