Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Ashford University provides a great learning experience in a very unique environment. If you ask online Ashford students if they're happy with their choice to attend school there, most would probably say that they would do it all over again if they could, mainly because of its flexibility and convenience with schedules. The instructors are helpful and respond to questions in a timely manner, usually within one to two days. The instructors are helpful and encourage students to constantly look for better answers. Online classes are very convenient to students with complicated schedules; students can complete assignments at their own leisure, yet within the time constraints of deadlines. Most students find no problem completing their assignments.

A drawback of being an online student is that you don't have the opportunity to really check out the organizations or physical resources Ashford offers. However, the University does have an online library that students can go into from the Student Portal. The library is easy to use, and students can usually find most of the sources they need when writing a research paper. Even though it isn't your typical college interaction, the instructors and classmates are friendly and very helpful when you have questions. Students are able to help each other in unique ways. In one case, a student didn't have her book for class yet, and another student was able to scan a copy of the assignment and e-mail an attachment to her. Classmates are also helpful in post discussions and give each other timely advice and wisdom.

Did Not Choose Classes

The main reason that I wanted to go to this school is because it was close to home and a lot cheaper than most schools. The one thing that I did not really like was when I had to sign up for my classes I was not able to get a choice in what I was taking, the lady there chose all my classes for me.

Good School

I do like my school, there are a lot of people but everyone knows everyone and I really like that about it. I would say that I have college pride because I am on the dance team and participate in dress up days. What makes my school unique is that people come from all over to be there but we all seem to have that close connection where we can walk down the hall and know half of the people.
