University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

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

Ujamma

I wish I would have known that time is of the essence and waits on no one. I also wish I would have realized I am in control of my own life and how much or how little I make of it is entirely up to me.

Stephanie

I wish I had known more about scholarships and financial aide so that I could have had more help financially

CHERRYL

Prior to attending school, I wish I would have known the realistic opportunities that await upon completion of my degree.

Mark

That I wish I went to this school as my first choice. Even though I am a transfer, I am still 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} happy with the decision I made of attending University of Phoenix. With their online course i can finally focus not just on my studies, but finding a full or part time job not only to support myself but my family as well.

Heather

As a returning college student, I wish I had known how difficult it is to go back to school. Students hear it all the time from parents and professionals, but we don't really have a full understanding of what they mean. Life gets in the way. I graduated with a degree in Psychology and believed that I would go back to school right away if it wasn't the right field for me. Nine years later, I am finally getting the chance to do that. I wish I had understood to get a second degree right away.

Sarah

I wish I would have known myself. I knew what I wanted out of life, and I was selfish about how I wanted to spend not only my time, but my class time also. However, without really exploring my inner feelings about how I was currently spending my time and what the ultimate payoff would really be I was doing myself a great injustice. To know where you are going in life you need to know yourself, pay attention to each and every feeling, want and need. Get a good grasp on who you are and exactlty what you want.

Danelle

I wish I had known that I could take online classes sooner

Victoria

I wish that I would have known that students are grouped by region - I live in a conservative, mid-western region and thus am not exposed to a lot of diversity in the classroom.

Sharon

I wish I had known how easy it was to get started. I wish I had known how much help I would receive and how encouraging my interaction with the staff would be.

Alison

I was told everything about the school before I attended. I made sure to find out all the information I could before I came to University of Pheonix. The counslers there do everything they can to help you.
