Kaplan University-Hagerstown Campus Top Questions

My opinion about Kaplan is that I can attend classes at my own flexible schedule and turn in my assignments at a reasonable time as well. I don't think that there is anything I would change about this school. Kaplan University is just the right school. People are impressed that I am attending this school, and it makes me proud. I go to an online class not on campus. I think that the school's administration is fine. The experience that i will always remember is the instructor's and when i graduate next year as well.

The best thing about the school is the ability to go at your pace. Now of course you do have a week to get the assignments turned in. In addition, one must go to the seminars each week. However, one may sit down at the computer at his or hers convenience. The one downfall is that we always do not receive textbooks. This makes it tough to go back and reference things later when the class is over. Responses are positive when I inform individuals I am going to Kaplan University. I spend an average of roughly 30 to 40 hours a week on the computer in dealing with school. However that much is not required to be successful. The administration at Kaplan is top notch. Furthermore, the school has outstanding resources. Kaplan is big on plagiarism as well APA format. So if you join know these! Early on students complained about financial aid. I must admit I had a little problem as well that did get resolved. Nevertheless, the complaints on financial aid are becoming less. I believe they got the kinks worked out for I have had no problems the last four terms.

I think I made a great choice in deciding to further my education with Kaplan. I enjoyed taking my classes online and being able to attend seminars at a time that is convenient for me and my schedule. I feel that having the seminars for an online class was a great feature in that you seem to have more access to the instructors and have more of an ability to interact with your classmates, some who you are able to follow from the start of your education all the way to the end.

The best thing about this school is the availability of professors to students during their terms, there is always someone there to talk to and ask questions during the school year. On a sour note the advisers with the school's do tend to overload new coming students with a lot of information and very little help. This problem did gradually get better throughout my time as a student, but I would definitely change or update information that the advisers have for you in terms of school courses, financial aid information, and website information. Because it is an online classroom I tend to spend most of my time in the official classroom setting working on projects and discussion boards. I would like to point out how helpful my adviser was during my junior term with this school. I was 22 at the time and 7 months pregnant, we had been discussing how I was going to continue with school once the baby was born. She made it very easy to make the decision to lessen my course schedule without taking leave, therefore there was less paperwork and no interruption with financial aid. She even took the time to speak with the professor of the course I was going to start during my last month of pregnancy and let her know what was going on and that I would probably not be in attendance the first couple of weeks of class. She was an amazing help, and I recommend advisers take her lead because patience and dedication to your students keeps them there!

I believe that Kaplan University is the best school that I could have ever attended. I listen to everyone that I know and they say that the school they attend is horrible or it lacks such and such. Then when I explain my school to them I can't really say anything bad. The teachers are great and take their time while teaching me to where I understand everything that I'm being taught.

The ease of going to school online is awesome. The credits transfer to so many other schools. Almost every Professor is awesome, They all care about your success. There are so many cool clubs to join and the seminars are archived so you can go back later and listen to them again.

The best thing about Kaplan is their tools, the library, learning center, butmost of all the professors sharing thie knowledge, wisdom, and understanding with the entire class. I believe that the size of school is just right. I have had my friends tell me that are in other colleges that their college does not havewhat Kaplan University has or offers. And In that it makes me feel very special and spend the majority of my time studying clas assignments. I fond that when I started at kaplan the administration is great and has been even still. Kaplan takes a lot of pride in their students and in their accomplishments Althought Idon't find anything unusual but but better learning skills, I guess if I had to say the most expierence I have had was learning all of the tools at my hand, but of all I love being a part of what Kaplan is doing. There are really no complaints.

I loved that I was assigned and academic advisor to help me with my admissions. It was a great help when I was contacted for documents that were needed and those that were due. They were prompt in their follow ups and reminders. The admission and registration is the hard part to me because as soon as I started my courses, it has been a smooth jouyney thus far. The academic counsellors help guide you on the righ path to your chosen destination.

While attending Online College, I am also working a full time job and at work there is another employee also attending college at a traditional college. It takes her an hour to drive to work, another half an hour to drive to school, and then another 45 minutes to drive home. Two days out of the week she leaves home at 5:00am and gets home 9:30 - 10:00pm. This is all time that she is spending away from home. With Kaplan Online I am home by 3:00 every day and can attend seminars or work on projects without leaving home. Sometimes I have attend on vacation or at the lake with my son while he fishes. I have had a few setbacks, but by being able to email my professors, my grades we not affected as they had the flexibility to work with me. While I might not have the same college experience as traditional students, I have been able to go back to school and earn my degree.

I think Kaplan University is a great school. eing able to study in the field you want and have real life teachers that practice in your studies is great. I would have to say that meeting people from all over this county has been a great pleasure and I would not change it for the world. I am currently in the legal studies program. Through Kaplan I am able to learn laws from around the United States through contact and interactions with students in my class. The classrooms are just right in size and the set up for an online school is awsome compared to other online schools. I have never had any regrets since I have joined Kaplan.
