I am searching for an online school to continue my education. I am having trouble choosing a school though. Does anyone attend an online school if so for what and are they happy with their program?

Yes, I am earning my degree online. I am doing as much as possible online then I will have to take my clinicals and labs my last sememster. I really enjoy it because I can still be at home, learning at my own pace, don't have to pay for a babysitter, and i feel it teaches time management and dependability. It may cost alittle more with the technology fee, but it will still beat gas prices, babysitter fees, and all. I am going through my local community college. I did do a year at University of Phoenix....they are awesome but was wwwwaayyy tooo expensive. Just check around there are many out there today. Kaplan is another good one. You will have decide what you want to take or what degree you want and some even have a general studies for those who don't know and then research all the schools. Just make sure their credits transfer and that they are accredited. good luck....

Yes, I did get financial aid and the schools have available financial aid also. Just at UOP, the financial aid went all to them and I also had to get a loan. at my community college, the financial aid went straight to them, but what was left they sent to me for to use for like bills, supplies, etc. whatever I wanted to use it for.

I actually go to school online, but it's not an online school. I technically go to school at the local community college, but take all online classes. For me it's really convenient, and it may work for you too. The campus is close if I need books, teachers, etc., but if I don't want to go to school that day, I just stay home. Not sure what you're situation is, but my school even offers child care assistance, book loan programs, and gas cards. I would recommend checking out some local campuses in your area. Good luck.
