For those of you out there that have attended Kaplan university and also another online college, which one did youlike better? I currently attend Kaplan for Business Management. I enjoy it a lot. But I wonder if there is a better online college out there for me. Now I tried to switch so I signed up for this college place to call me about attending other online colleges, and they told me that it would be better for me to stay with Kaplan. They said that they were the number one rated online college. Is this the truth? Just wondering. So I just wana know some input on some other online colleges out there and see if anyone likes them better than Kaplan.

I go to the University of Maryland University College Online. It's a great program. I really enjoy it because it offers lenience in your schedule, whereas, some colleges mandate you to be at class at a certain time, just as if you were in a physical college building. That basically is my main priority, as I need the versatility in my schedule due to my fluctuating health. One issue, however, is the the UMUC's online program is a bit expensive. I cannot afford to go full time. I've received many emails from Kaplan and have been interested to know more about it. Do you have scheduled class times? Also, how is the financial aspect? Is it very expensive? Do you attend full time or part time? Sorry for all the questions! You're more than welcome to ask me any questions about UMUC if you are interested. Additionally, I have some friends who attend the online program at University of Phoenix. They are all satisfied. There are also many tech online programs, that are for certifications in specific departments. You may have luck with one of them, as well. Goodluck to you with whatever you choose!

Well, like right now the 2 classes I am taking this course are business law, there is a weekly seminar in there and I got to pick the day and the hour before I started the class. But for this professor it is not manditory. Now the other class that I am taking right now has a seminar on wednesday nights from 8-9 p.m. And again I got to choose that hour and day before I started the class. So that part works out great. And if you miss the hour seminar one week, then you can complete option 2, which is normally 1 paragraph about the weeks work in the class. I sometimes forget about the seminar and have to choose option 2. Now I have had 2 classes that there were no seminar in, so for those courses, there was nothing I had to do at any certain time. Of course there is a due date for your work though. But if you are later just e-mail the professor and they all work with ya. I myself know a few that go to the pheonix college online, and they all say that they like it alot. I dunno. I still have to think....=) You said that you can not go full time because on the money. Can you not get financial aid? I have not paid anything yet for any schooling. Kapalan just called me one night and in 2 hours had me enrolled and had me set up with financial aid, they walked me through the whole process. It was just a great thing. I had to end up doing one loan for 1500 with citi bank. But I do not have to start making payments on that until 6 months after I get a degree. That is awesome.
