iamdebhep says "I have been so impressed by everything they offer." about Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis

iamdebhep — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:13:30 GMT

Our son started his freshman year at IUPUI this August. He loves it. He was accepted into the engineering program. I've heard Purdue graduates say that they wish they would have attended IUPUI for their engineering program because the program is the very same that is implemented at Purdue but you get it for less money. The facilities at the school are great. The Natatorium offers unlimited swimming for $30.00 a semester.

The Student Center houses an excellent bookstore, conference rooms and the food court is really good, too. There is a Chic-Filet, a pizza place, a salad restaurant and more that I can't think of right now ... a wide variety. Most building are connected by covered walkways or underground tunnels. It's in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and an exciting place to be.

When our son graduates, he'll have a degree from Purdue without the cost if he were to go to West Lafayette to Purdue University. IUPUI has it own sports teams. They are the IUPUI Jaguars. ...

snmeyer says "Where top-notch education meets a thriving campus life! Awesome!" about Western Michigan University

snmeyer — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:56:12 GMT

In my opinion, Western Michigan University is the definition of an underrated university. With its first-class programs in Aviation, Sales & Business Marketing, Engineering and the Arts, its is a research university that puts the focus on students "starting right and finishing strong." During my four years there, I was able to discover a thriving campus life full of hundreds of opportunities to become a leader and get involved. I also discovered that the surrounding community of Kalamazoo has a city look, but a wonderful small town feel. Even with its 25,000+ students, it is easy for anyone to full at home at WMU and in Kalamazoo, and I cannot express how much I would recommend the university to anyone looking to make the best out of their college experience. Great education. Great campus. Great community. It is the BEST and MOST AFFORDABLE public institution in the State of Michigan. Enough said. GO BRONCOS!

anaromero1 says "nice little campus with lofty visions- and room for improvement" about Saint Xavier University

anaromero1 — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:55:24 GMT

SXU (or St Xav's as it's commonly known) is a decent school, I give it a 3.5 rating, but round it up to four because of the whole number scale. Overall, the academics and intramural sports are great, the campus scene is a bit quiet as the campus is a bit small. Yet, the overall learning experience is excellent, as it accomodates to students' diverse backgrounds and needs, with interdisciplinary courses and extracurricular activities in an array of fields of inquiry (sports, philosophy, religion, music, politics). Though I was a bit too much of a 'worrier' concerning my studies (and to a lesser extent, part-time work study experiences), so that I wasn't socially involved, I still felt the impact of the core values of the institution (hospitality, excellence, mercy, to mention a few) in simple everyday situations while I resided on campus and attended mass, and events required in certain courses, for example General Colin Powell's speech in 2007 on the political state of the nation.

Academically,...

MsBusaBell says "AIU - the only online school for me!!" about AIU - AA Business Admin

MsBusaBell — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:45:22 GMT

After a 16 year relationship with my ex-husband I suddenly found myself shifted from an at home mom to an unemployed single mom literally overnight! Not only was I trying to find a job, I was trying to find one when the economy suddenly hit bottom. There were no jobs available especially for someone who had been out of the work scene for 8 years! I knew I had to do something. I always wanted to earn my degree but knew that on site (brick and mortar) schools were not going to be something I could do seeing as I lived nowhere near any of them and with my situation, I didn't have a way to and from those schools! I had at first tried to enroll with the local technical school but they continuously lost all my paperwork and I was fed up! I researched online schools and found AIU. With the excellant help from my admissions counselor I not only got enrolled within a week, I also received all the help I needed to get financial help through the financial help department! I started...

nikkim says "I am so glad I went into the Ivy Tech Nursing program" about Ivy Tech Nursing School - Indiana

nikkim — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:53:36 GMT

I attended the Ivy Tech Nursing Program in Richmond, IN, and graduated in 1994 as an LPN. That was the same year that Ivy Tech became a State College! I learn better by hands on learning and that is exactly what I was able to do at Ivy Tech. All of the instructors were very helpful, and really cared about you as a student. I was only 19 yrs. old, so they became like my serrogate mothers(lol). We did our clinicals at Reid Memorial Hospital which has recently been moved closer to Ivy Tech and rebuilt to a much larger hospital that can offer more services, such as cardiovascular care.

jecableguy says "Great program for working adults" about Franklin University

jecableguy — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 19:58:45 GMT

Franklin University offers a great program for working adults who want to finish a college degree. It is called the Community College Alliance Program.

This program directs students to complete an Associate's degree (or equivalent course credit) at their local community college. Then, the student takes another year's worth of courses from their community college, and finally, a year's worth of courses online from Franklin.

The end result is that the student graduates with a 4-year Bachelor's degree from Franklin, but pays a much lower price in tuition.

Franklin is not a gimmicky "virtual" university. It has an established campus in downtown Columbus, and was founded in 1902. It is fully accredited by the North Central Association.

If you are an adult, with a job/spouse/family/house etc., and you want to finish your Bachelor's degree without having to spend a ton of money, you owe it to yourself to investigate Franklin University.

Eilsel says "Beyond Expectations" about University of Chicago

Eilsel — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:35:05 GMT

When my son started to get college flyers and brochures in the mail, one school stood out above the rest. The University of Chicago's recruitment department couldn't have profiled my son any better; every piece of mail he received from them had something that related to his likes, attitude and goals. The mailings were clever, witty and informative. It also didn't hurt that the campus buildings are beautiful stone monsters covered with ivy, and that it looks like the Harry Potter movies modeled their dining halls after U of C's!

The University of Chicago was the only school my son wanted to attend after high school. The application requirements were tough, but extremely creative. I am a bit disappointed to hear that they are resorting to the Common application from now on.

The information on the University's web site is easy to navigate and covers all the topics about which any student might need information. Arranging an appointment to tour the campus was easy. When we arrived, all the people...

missmike says "Because of one missing semester my son-in-law didn't get in!" about University of Washington-Seattle Campus

missmike — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:20 GMT

My son-in-law tried to get into the Pharmacy school and because he did not have one semester of Spanish he was told he could not go until he had completed it. Now, he has to work nights at Target in a bad economy. He and his wife have to work at minimum wage to support a family of three children, plus minimum hours and a second job at Ft. Lewis to keep their home. He has a top academic record but cannot get everything together and get scholarship and grants to matriculate at U. of Washington-Seattle....

snowpea says "A better education for your children you can feel good about" about Connections Academy - Baltimore,MD

snowpea — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:11:29 GMT

Connections Academy. This is a wonderful way to have some say in your child's education. You do not have to send your child off on a bus with someone you do not know, to a school full of people you do not know. To wonder what they are learning or if there are learning. You do not have to worry about there safety in this crazy world. The day is spent at home doing schoolwork, the school provides all of the education materials for you to oversee the work. They have on-line classes or you can use text books that they provide. They even provide the computer. They will send you a check a few times a year to help pay for the Internet too. The education is custom made for your child. You save on school cloths, they can stay in PJ's all day if they want to. You do not have to pay for school lunches. You can do classwork in the morning, afternoon or night. It fits your schedule. The school has field trips every month in your area.

emily1724 says "Illinois State is in a great location; nice small town!" about Illinois State University

emily1724 — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:04:30 GMT

Illinois State University is a large school, but it's located in a smaller town setting. Lots of good restaurants around. This school provides a decent education and the price isn't too bad. They have a good sports program, so there are plenty of games to go to and cheer them on. They also have a good band program. Most of the campus is accessible by walking and there are plenty of high rise dorms available to live in. There is also alot of off-campus housing for the upperclassmen. Many students are from the Chicago area, so they tend to go back home during the holiday's and the college area looks bleak. Plenty of part-time jobs available in food service and retail. ...

TawneyCPhT says "Remington College Cleveland West; where dreams are realized." about Remington College Cleveland West

TawneyCPhT — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:22:48 GMT

Remington College Cleveland West - N. Olmsted, Ohio

I am so excited about my education at Remington that I have to sing its praises just a little. I enrolled in the 8 month pharmacy technician program in late March '08 and graduated with honors at the end of December '08. My instructors, Martin Mathis & Sibyl Carrion were key factors in my current success as a C.Ph.T. They gave me all my necessary requirements in order to pass the pharmacy technician certification exam and they went above & beyond the call of duty to construct in me a solid foundation of business and personal ethics that stabalizes my current career. I am now employed at the Animal Clinic Northview in N. Ridgeville, where clients from all over the country come to seek the specialized services of the doctors on staff. ACN has been herald as the "Cleveland Clinic of the Animal World." I could not be where I am today, both personally & professionally, were it not for Remington College where my education extended beyond...

mlandon says "What a great school for the price!" about Columbus State Community College

mlandon — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:21:34 GMT

I have been attending CSCC for a year now. I had taken a few classes through my twenties but never really decided what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I quit wasting money. I started back in Fall 2007 and my experience has been nothing but wonderful. From the outstanding professors I have encountered, to academic advisors going above and beyond their job duties, CSCC is winner all the way around. Tuition is reasonable (cheapest in the state), so it's a great way to take as many classes as you can before transferring to 4 year, if that's your plan. The classes are packed with a balance workload and really learning something from each course, which makes the experience all the more worthwhile, especially when you're paying for it yourself! I am proud to be attending CSCC and know that I am saving a ton of money but still receiving a top notch education~...

nvn8vbryce says "It's NeVADuh, not NeVAHdah." about University of Nevada-Reno

nvn8vbryce — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:13:04 GMT

Nevada-Reno is Nevada's oldest Land-grant school and is the best in the state. Yes, our cousins to the south at UNLV may disagree with us, but here's some reasons to like UNR:

1) We have trees! Lots of them! Last time I checked, UNLV was lots o' concrete and little else.

2) Lake Tahoe. Need I say more?

3) We have seasons. Four of them. Vegas? 3: Hot, cold and construction.

4) The Fremont Cannon? It's blue - has been for a while and will stay that way...

5) It doesn't take us an hour to drive to campus (unless you live in Dayton like me :-)

6) We can walk across campus in 20 minutes or less.

GinaC says "This school is highly recommended" about Colorado Technical University - Associate Degree in Accounting

GinaC — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:44:20 GMT

Colorado Technical University is a great school and they were so helpful through it all. I enjoyed the instructors and they helped me get through the hard classses I needed. It has been 2 yrs. since I graduated and they still continue to help me. I never felt pressured by anyone at the school. It was a lot of work but you should expect to do hard work for your degree. At the time I was a single mom and working full-time but the school always gave me encouragement. I have and will continue to recommend this school to people. ...

IncompetentHswife says "Easy to find your niche, but on an opportunity-rich campus." about Michigan State University

IncompetentHswife — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 18:09:39 GMT

Michigan State University is a great choice for students interested in any number of majors. Tuition is a pretty good value for a Big Ten university. Some students first identify an area of interest and discover that MSU has an excellent program. Others start as no-preference students and find lots of opportunities to hone in on the right major for them. The opportunity to travel abroad is a wonderful aspect.

I have seven siblings who all attended Michigan State, both of my parents are Spartans, two of my nieces, a brother-in-law and my husband. Among us we hold 10 bachelor's degrees, 3 master's degrees and 2 certificates from the MSU Institute of Agricultural Technology.

turnandburn says "Great Online School" about Walden University - Online MBA Degree Program

turnandburn — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:36:52 GMT

I have recently been trying to decide which school I want to attend to go back for my bachelors degree in criminal justice. I have to say out of the four schools I have been talking to, I recently chose Walden University. They were up front about everything, were not pushy and very helpful. When trying to figure out which school is going to best meet ones needs and ones questions, it is important to get what you need out of speaking to someone rather than haveing to feel like you have no choice. Walden University was great in answering every question I had, giving me answers and ways to find the answers I needed. They were very knowledgeable and just all around helpful in my choice to attend. I would recommend this school to everyone wanting to attend a college online if it teaches what they are wanting to do.

busymom1974 says "Commonwealth Connections Academy I'm very happy with!" about Connections Academy - Baltimore,MD

busymom1974 — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 11:05:53 GMT

Commonwealth Connections Academy in PA I'm very happy with. The school where I live is closing and I'm not happy with how the school district does stuff! I'm saving money, because I only need to buy supplies that is needed. I still participate in the boxtops program, because I buy many products that have boxtops on. I also save money on cooking meals, my son didn't eat alot of the food in bricks & mortor school and came home hungry. I like this school because I know what he's learning, if he has trouble with a subject I can see it right away. If my son is bored with a subject because it's easy for him, we can work ahead! The live lessons are great and bi-weekly phone calls from teacher are nice. I would recommend this school because there are many benefits!...

SweetRain says "Eveything I've heard about this college has been positive. " about University of Phoenix - Axia College AA program

SweetRain — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:36:57 GMT

The University of Phoenix is probably one of the best known online colleges around. People recommend this one to me all the time. I have checked into this one before but for whatever reason, failed to follow through. I was wanting to attend classes not just take courses online and it wasn't feasible at the time. This one is high on my list. Would like to study information technology, and their program sounds as good as any I've studied. This is a trusted name in online learning, that much I do know!...

pvplasterer says "SUCCESSFUL CAREER = SUCCESSFUL EDUCATION at AIU" about AIU - AA Business Admin

pvplasterer — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:52:40 GMT

"I had come to a point in my Career that I had moved up the ladder as far as I could without a degree. My employers know that I am smart and eager to acheive, but because companies must avoid workplace discrimination, Job postings and descriptions include educational requirements that are mandatory for certain positions. There was no getting around it, if i was going to acheive my goals and secure the position I desired, I had to earn a degree." This began my search for a college or university program that would fit into my busy lifestyle; that of a working mother and wife.

I searched and researched some more and finally found the perfect university.

AIU (American Intercontinental University), offers the perfect education in my field of study with the ability to do it On My Time, In my Time frame, and in No Time I had my degree.

AIU offers Free Workshops in the studies of Microsoft, Word, Power-Point, Excel and others, Plus a complete on line Library with 24/7 access.

tazwarden says "Online schooling is convienent and easy for everyones lifestyles" about University of Phoenix - Bachelors

tazwarden — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 08:36:22 GMT

Having looked into several online programs..University of Phoenix was able to met the need of flexibility with job and family that I am able to go back to school online in my own time. Yes they do accept financial aid through the online program it's just like being in school just withou the voice of a professor.

What else is nice is with gas prices I don't have to drive to school after work I go straight home spend time with the family put the 6 kids to bed then I can do my homework at all hours of the night.

Want a better job or career potential online schooling is right for you....
