Describe the students at your school.
One great thing about getting your degree online, is that you do not have to worry about fashion or your appearance. Most of the students that I worked with, were hard working and willing to learn from others. I have connected with many of my classmates through facebook and exchanced phone numbers. This has helped for last minute questions about assignments. I know that I can turn to these friends (classmates) and they will help me figure out the answer. We work together as a group to encourage eachother to get our work done. And as I have said before, many of my classmates have experience in the field, so I have learned a great deal from them. Overall I have found all of my classmates to be helpful and encouraging.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
Students at Kaplan strive to make the President's List and Dean's List. The honors societies are also popular. There are also different clubs and others programs available to students; but I unfortunately do not have the time to participate in any of those.
Since we are an online school, sports teams aren't exactly a factor. But there are plenty of other activities to get involved in.

What are your classes like?
I have learned a lot since attending school with Kaplan. The course material is easy to comprehend and fun to learn. The professors are great about explaining everything each week.
Being a criminal Justice major it can be difficult at time to absorb all of the material. The classes at Kaplan make it very easy to read and understand all of the courses. The discussion board also helps to reiterate what is important each week in the course.

Why did you decide to go to this school?
