What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Lauren

Honestly, I wish I would have done my research better. I failed to check the reviews posted online. After doing so, I realized that the majority of online students were having similar problems as I.

jocelyn

I wish i had known that i needed to prepare myself a little better for the extra workload but that is all scheduled out now and i am doing great!

Crystal

The online program is very challenging, but rewarding.

Athena

I wish I had known that I would be a good student and would be able to achieve success in college because I am smart enough.

Karin

I wish I had known that they do not offer their online students any type of scholarships.

Kathleen

I wish I had known the VA was so picky, and someone had told me my classes were back to back for a reason. I am short money for 8 more classes to complete my major BA in Environmental Studies, and minor in Human resources.

Cathy

Mostly everything was spelled out. I guess the only thing would have been that it was not as difficult to get used to the online learning as I thought there would be. The professors and staff are very helpful and most want you to succeed.

Brittany

I wish I had known that there is not a full scheduled bus that would take me to Davenport,Iowa.

Cameron

For some reason I looked at the cost differently then what it is. When I looked at the cost to attend the online portion of their school, I saw the per credit cost at $400 is dollars. I for some reason assumed that cost was for each class, not for each credit for some reason. When I went back to look at it I realized that I had made a costly mistake. Instead of having the last 10 or so classes that I have to take cost around $4,000 it will cost around $15,000.

Susan

I wish I would have known their method of study, i.e., that they take one course at a time. Also, I would have wanted to know how much financial aid I was going to receive before enrolling. I wished I would have noticed which kinds of financial aid they provide. i.e., loans, grants, work study, and other programs like these. I wished I would have known how helpful they are compared to other schools that I have attended. That's about it.
