online_studentWe are looking for anyone who has been enrolled in an online degree program to share their experience with our members. We want to hear it all – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Did you find online education easy? Was it more difficult than a traditional classroom setting?  How long did it take you to get your degree? Was it expensive? Would you do it again? What was the financial aid process like? Did your classes transfer without a problem? Did a prospective employer have reservations about hiring you because your degree was from an online institution? Any other thoughts?

You own the creative license to your blog. You can write about any aspect you wish.

All blogs should be emailed to members@scholarshippoints.com with the subject line Online Education Blog.  Upon receipt of your blog your account will be credited 25 Points.

Bonus: If you were enrolled in one of the following five online schools: University of Phoenix, Kaplan University, Everest University Online, American Intercontinental University, or South University and blog about your experience you will receive a 10-point bonus for a total of 35-points.

We look forward to your blogs!

    I love the ScholarshipPoints on FACEBOOK. Its very lively and always reminds you to share what's on your mind.

    I am currently taking two online classes and I love them. Mostly because I do not have to deal with driving into class when I can so the same amount of work from home.

    The state has been cutting back a lot on college funding so this site gives me hope! thanks so much!!!

  9. kris says on November 30, 2009 at 6:05 pm:

    i like online classes

  10. Victoria says on November 27, 2009 at 9:02 pm:

    I feel like an online school would cause you to miss out on valuable college experiences.

  11. NO says on November 14, 2009 at 10:32 am:

    Useful reading stuff, everybody should look over it at least.

  12. Alexandra says on October 29, 2009 at 4:59 pm:

    I don't find online classes/education any better than education in a classroom. I feel the purpose of an education is to communicate with professors, faculty, and students of school. I also feel that online classes should be cheaper than they are offered for.

  13. Morgan says on October 26, 2009 at 4:00 pm:

    I think that online classes may be a good idea for those who are going back to school but a computer cant give you the motivation to go to class and get your homework done

  14. Amber says on October 11, 2009 at 5:57 pm:

    I am a hands on learner.. which does not apply to typing and clicking. i would think that it would be hard for me to learn online instead of actually being in the classroom

  15. Lainie says on October 8, 2009 at 3:23 am:

    I like this blog too

  16. Hyun Joo says on October 7, 2009 at 10:49 pm:

    I felt that there was no need to enroll to any of the provided colleges up there. I'm satisfied at my college

  17. Brittney says on October 7, 2009 at 6:55 pm:

    I am currently in an online degree program and its great. Its not too hard, and you can always ask the teacher questions. You can even call them. You can also speak or chat with your classmates.

  18. Brittney says on October 7, 2009 at 6:53 pm:

    I am enrolled online and it's a really good program. You can contact teachers to ask questions, and do assignments on your own time. so far theres only one big assignment per class, and its due at the end of the course

  19. Alexa says on October 7, 2009 at 6:49 pm:

    online classes work for people with a busy schedule. Those who actually have time should go to classes rather than take them online. its hard to keep up and motivate yourself to try.

  20. Trasi says on October 7, 2009 at 6:28 pm:

    I LIKE ONLINE!!

  21. Trasi says on October 7, 2009 at 6:27 pm:

    I am currently online, and it is a very simple process! I had trouble initially because I was not familia with it. Now, the only adverse side effect would be, that when you are posting assignments, others can duplicate your work without even taking time to read the assignment. However, they can't duplicate your work, when you are writing a paper. I enjoy on campus, and online. Online is because 10 p.m is too late to get home and I have a three year old.

  22. Adalis says on October 7, 2009 at 5:58 pm:

    Well, online classes are cool but just for few people, It depends on the behaviour that the student practice.

  23. Nick Biernacki says on October 7, 2009 at 5:11 pm:

    Online classes are the only way that I can complete my MBA while still helping my wife out with our two children.

  24. Nichole says on October 7, 2009 at 1:24 pm:

    I am currently an online student with Grand Canyon University. I completed my AA through University of Phoenix online. Now I am working on my Bachelors. When I first began it was tough. It is hard to make yourself accountable when you have a million other things to do. I am a stay-at-home mom so there are often times when my family has to come first. Once I got over the initial speed bumps I have been able to create a good balance for myself. I study during the day while my kids are in school and then put the books away when they get home. I won't say it has always been easy but I've done the best with the options available to me.

  25. Jennifer says on October 7, 2009 at 12:23 pm:

    Go to school it pays!!!! I know

  31. Beth says on October 7, 2009 at 1:01 am:

    Haven't taken online courses yet….

  32. Amber says on October 6, 2009 at 8:27 pm:

    I am not recieving my entire degree through online classes. However, I am taking a few online courses at Colorado State University. I like it a lot because it gives me the flexibility to learn at the pace i want and study at the times that are most convenient to my schedule!

  33. Luke says on October 6, 2009 at 5:09 pm:

    I think online classes are overrated. Yes they are more convenient but you meet no new people and don't get to enjoy the college experience.

  34. Daliah says on October 6, 2009 at 4:32 pm:

    i like this website

  35. mindy says on October 6, 2009 at 3:11 pm:

    I haven't took an online class before, but have helped a friend in one. He kept complaining about how his work wouldnt' get properly submitted and that his teacher never respended to his questions and e-mails.

  36. Cassandra says on October 6, 2009 at 2:53 pm:

    i think classes would be nice because it is easy to get distracted online.

  37. Catherine says on October 6, 2009 at 12:02 pm:

    If it weren't for online classes I would have never been able to going to school. Online classes has allowed me to fulfill my goals and plan for a career!
