As someone who's been to several "real" colleges and have read this on a number of forums, I have to say it simply isn't fair to paint online colleges with this brush without painting brick and morter schools with the same color paint. All colleges are about making a profit. Let's not confuse school pride with a better education.

I havn't taken any courses at UoP but I know several people already headlong into their careers and family life who've used these opportunites to further their own education and family income that they wouldn't have had otherwise. They've worked hard and shown that a driven person can still reach for goals without sacrificing what's important to them.

Welcome to the 21st century my friend. This "new" approach at higher education will only grow as technology keeps expanding. Any college will only take you as far as your own drive to use it.

Now missing out on the toga parties and panty raids is a completely differnt matter all together.
