Online College vs. Online College

Posted by Nicole Acosta on July 9th, 2008

I’ve always had a great fear in online schooling.  I’m a single mother of one, with only 3 credit hours of college and 6 lined up for the Fall 2008 Semester.  I did a lot of research in looking for the best online program any school had to offer.  I was bombarded with someone many phone calls from different online Univeristies I was automatically turned off.  I felt safe by enrolling in my local community college that offered online teaching.  I looked into other schools but just didn’t feel the connection I was looking for that made me feel that if I do receive a degree from here; would an employer accept my degree?

After I enrolled in my online classes I checked out more things from a friend of mine who is enrolled in night school.  A site is called ratemyprofessor.com this gave me detials, remarks and scores of teachers from students who have taken the classes I’m enrolled.  I felt more confident and safe to know that my teachers have great scores, including know more about the way the class worked.  Research your school, ask questions and always make sure you feel comfortable with your choice before accepting.
