Most people think that online schools are a joke,or that the people attending them are lazy and looking for an easy way out. They are mistaken, for one the degree you earn is accredited and the amount of homework you are given is the same from any traditional college.

I really haven't heard much about a stereotype of KU studetns.

I would have to say no The .stereotype of students could not be more false.

When I was on the phone with a Kaplan University representitive, I asked her what the stereotype was like and she said I would meet so many different kinds of people. She was right. There is not one type of stereotype. I have met people from all over the country and of all different viewpoints and religious beliefs. I have had a great experience with all my classmates I met online.

Probably. Since the majority of Kaplan students are female. Also since the school boasts online education the "lazy" factor also plays a part versus the image of traditional "brick & mortar" students.
