[Blindtlk] Grad School

[Jesse Johnson]

I am attending Amridge University in Montgomery Alabama online. I am currently working toward my second Master's, and I have had a very enjoyable time thus far. I do agree that is a matter of preference. For me online is the way to go because it gives me a lot more freedom of work. My professors are very much accessible. I reach them by either email or from time to time I call them. Fortunately, I've had very helpful professors. Best wishes, Jaybee

I would definitely recommend that you go to Grad School, but I'm not sure if I would take the online approach.  Everyone has their own experiences with online classes, but the one I had was very hard.  Not that the work was difficult, but the program that was used was not always stable.  I definitely like the on-campus part of school, though.  You get to know your peers and teachers better that way, and you can ask a teacher a question and get immediate answers, unlike sending emails.  It does depend on your preference, transportation, and daily schedule.
