I'm trying to take online classes. But having trouble with which site is legit. With so many choices out there, finding which one is legit or a scam is very difficult. Is there anyone taking classes online or know of any sites?

I'm not taking any online classes (well I have before, but through my on-campus college - the University of Minnesota), and I think your main concern is whether or not the school is ACCREDITED. If it's accredited, it means it's recognized by the country & government as a legit school, with legit degrees. Picking an online school is tricky, because unlike on-campus schools, a lot of those schools are NOT accredited and therefore not worth your time. I think I found a complete list of accredited schools here: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ/alpha/ (not a referral link), so if you're planning on a certain school, you could check to see if it's on the list! Good luck to you & your schooling!
