Being an online student...

Hi everyone...hope you are all doing well this weekend.  Being an online student seems to be a love-hate relationship!  I love that I have the opportunity to do things when I have the availability, everything is usually in writing where you can see it and go over it many times in case you missed something, and everyone gets the chance to participate (or is required).  It seems like the things we are taught online and how it is structured is much more adult-like and profession friendly.  I have attended a state university, a small private college and here I am now at Kaplan so I feel like I have a good all-around idea of what college is like and what different colleges can offer.  It seems like there is a lot of work expected of you online: a ton of reading, lots of participation, and many papers.  Overall I like how the class is structured.  When I was deciding on an online college I picked Kaplan instead of University of Phoenix because they are required to do group work every class every week and that just really isn't for me.  So here I am, worked hard at Kaplan, but enjoying how wonderful the teachers and classmates are.
