[nabs-l] Have You Researched or Attended Colorado Schools or the University of Phoenix?

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
If you get excepted anywhere else, don't go to CSU, I'm there now and unless 
you have the option to take many classes privately or you want a very long 
degree, you don't want to go there. If prop 30 doesn't pass we can basically 
wave good bye to what little CSU we have and find another college.
Something you can use as justification for going to that online college is 
the fact it is 100% online, so you don't have to worry about housing, 
accessibility, books, transportation, new mobility for each quarter, or your 
lecturers being laid off. You may also want to say that the coursework will 
be a great deal less stressful because you don't need to focus on more than 
one class at a time. If you have problems concentrating, this would be 
something never done by any other college.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hello,

I have experience with PPCC and with UCCS, so if you have any
questions, please let me know. I also know of a couple of people that
attend CSU.

Thanks.
