I’m going to be attending college soon, but i really want to know if it’s worth it to leave state or even my house to gain my education.
As of right now, I’m still in high school, I’m a good student, an honors student, but one who may be limited by money. I have only heard of people obtaining an online degree or education in order to farther their education, not actually obtain one. I was told to find information about attending or learning college online.
Can anyone help me out?
SOME–NOT ALL– of the “on-line” or “at home” colleges or degrees are NOT accredited, recognized or accepted at other schools and colleges. So you may learn something and even be able to get a job using these methods. But if you ever plan on going father er with your education they would do you no good. You would have to start all over again. Also since SOME of these colleges have no standards to meet their level is below the normal academic standards.
So be sure if you use this method you check out the history, academic standard, and transfer of credit availability. And don’t take that schools word on it, check them out with other schools and see if their credits transfer. I went to a college who told me their credits would transfer to any regular college, only to find out later that they won’t. So check it out well, and carefully. There are some very good trade and on-line schools. Just be very sure to do your homework first.
Good luck.
It’s hard to say…………. some people loved their college campus experience and some hated. It depends on the individual. I am glad that I attended a traditional college for undergrad……….. I am now “attending” an on-line college and it seems to be the right thing for this time in my life. I am able to attend school with loans and many other people are able to attend college with loans. Check out elearners.com for lots of information about on-line schools.
Hi. I am also considering online education just like you and ahd heard alot from ppl…pros & cons…hmmm…you might have to ask yourself seriously if you are to continue your studies after the online degree or would stop? If you are likely to continue after the online degree, you might have problem getting into a offline school to continue… If you are likely to stop at degree, then i think it will be fine. BUT….if you are of younger age without commitment like family & etc… i would recommend that you DUN choose to study online. Cause from being learning alone…you might not have had the experience of your peer & its definately gonna make a difference! Hope this help
Enjoy your day!!
Hi
I am pursing my online MBA degree in online california university of technology – Calu. I find it very flexible i can learn whenever i like and wherever i needed. In the mean while i am working in private ltd. If u interested visit http://www.caluniversity.com
I’ve never attended an online school but i’d say that one con would be that you wouldn’t be able to personally talk to your teacher or any other students to better understand stuff that maybe is kinda hard at first. I dunno, i’ve thought about doing that too.
PRO:
never have to get outtta bed
CON:
mess out on awesome partys!!!
