I am very curious about this prospect, but I have never known anyone to have done it. Seems like many people would like the idea of attending online classes for convenience and price. What do you think?

I have taken individual classes online - I wouldn't go for one of those "get your degree online" things though. They may work - I just ordered from a local college, as well as from a professional organization to obtain national certification. I do not like classes as I find it distracting and resent the time that can be taken up by off topic conversations that can occur - also not a big fan of group projects. It takes discipline though, when I was younger I ordered one and never opened it once - money down the drain.

i did a ICS postal course this year for a A2 history. Although the most of this was done at home there was online support. I never used the resources & personally it would not be something that i would do again. I think that they are useful for many people but personally i like the personal interaction & support. Moreover i like the classrom setting & the things that you can gain from your peers. My advice would be look into it to see if its the right thing for you, it needs alot of personal motivation & dedication.

I've tried it and I did not like it. I had started in a criminal justice prgram but stopped because the credits didn't tranfer. I owe them about $90.00 now for ordering the program and not finishing it. They sent me a book and I was supposed to pay like $800.00 for the class but I didn't.
