Remember, just because you don't have to go to class, doesn't mean you don't have to do the work

Not Applicable.

When I graduated high school with attendance honors and ranking in the top fourth of the class, I originally was considering going in the military to increase my knowledge, skills, mindset, strength, and focus to advance myself into college and to earn my college credits. Before my son was born I had wished that if I could go into the past and talk to my high school self and convince her to go into the military but now that I have had my son I am unaware of the ramifications if I would have done that.

When I originally came to the University of Phoenix I was taking class on campus. I later switched to Online due to a couple life events. I would have liked to have been back on campus for my advanced 400 level courses, however, most the campus classes for the Accounting courses had been phased out and could only be taken online. I wish I had known about the future unavailability of the campus courses before enrolling. If I had, I would likely have chosen a university local to where I live.

I wish I had known that it is going to be hard. At first, I did not realize how difficult the classes were going to be.

Before attending University of Phoenix, I wish I had known how quickly a person can become enrolled and begin their classes. I called the University to speak to a counselor regarding my career-choice options and educational goals, before I knew it, I was applying for financial aid and registering for an online orientation class. Three weeks later I found myself beginning my first set of classes. All of this happened before I could reallize that the financial details had not been set. I wish I would have researched different school options as well as schoalarships ahead of time.

Something that I wish I would have known was that going back to school at University of Phoenix is a very helpful school. With all of the professors, as well as advisors are there for you anytime that you need them. The OLS is very easy to nagivate and get the hang of.

Before I came to this school, I didn't know exactly how the policy goes with making payments. So when I first signed up and found out that I had to pay for my classes up front almost 2 weeks after I started, it did put me in a little rut. But, I was still able to pull it together and pay it off well. It is important that you ask your student advisor these kinds of questions before you decide on what school to come from. Other than that, I really love this school.
