What is your opinion of online college, such as the University of Phoenix Online? I'm considering..

If you really want/need your degree and want/need it quickly, that's probably a good idea. You can get your credits down faster online because it's not spread out over a semester (I would assume it's self-paced, so the faster you want it the faster you get it).

I don't think the employers will look down on it at all, because you still did the work and got the degree.

But on the other hand, you might regret forgoing the college experience. You know best, though, what's good for you.

I agree with lastholiday on all counts.

Also, you have to consider your ability to keep it up. Deadlines are hard to miss when they're only in your inbox. Really think about that aspect. A lot of people say that they can handle it but that's usually not the case.

I think it also depends on what you're studying. If someone wanted to get an English degree online, I'd laugh at them. Classroom discussion makes up most of the experience in some departments and is simply irreplaceable.

I have one friend who is doing it and several friends who look down on said friend for doing it.

I think whatever works for people though. As long as employers accept it, that's all that matters.

Also, I MAY have helped my mom with one of those classes... and it MAY have been super easy but rather fast-paced.
