After a 9 year LONG procastination, I finally decided to go back to school and get my degree!!! I selected the University I wanted to go through to get my BA and it's Strayer University. I was really picky about what school I wanted to attend. There were 4 schools I was looking at for online classes:
Strayer University
Western Governor's University
Walden University
University of Phoenix
UoP was my first choice, but I wanted to hunt around to see what else was out there.......Walden was eliminated right away because of the online advisor I was dealing with. I am a questions person.....I can ask ALOT of questions, and that's just to make sure I understand fully want is being said. I felt like I was being rushed off the phone, she wasn't really interested in answering my questiosn and I didn't like that. So, I moved on to next one......WG, I thought, would be a great fit, but after reviewing the information sent to me, it wasn't. So, that left Strayer....I was still waiting on UoP, but I didn't hear anything.
Well Saturday, the Strayer advisor call me......and we hit it RIGHT off.....we were on the phone for about 1.5 hrs talking about my goals, my fears, my everything.......he let ask ALL the questions, promptly answered and if he didn't know the answer, he looked it up and sent the info to me. That sold me RIGHT there.....seriously. He was attentive and that's what I wanted and needed. Even after I got off the phone with him, I still was thinking "wait to hear from UofP, but something was telling me to go ahead with Strayer.
So, Monday, I called Jason and said "Let's do this..."..... right now, I am 3/4 of the way through my admission proces and it's been a little grueling!!! Just in the sense of time....it's very consuming. And waiting for my PIN to register...... Yea, that's was interesting, but it's registered and I am basically in.
I am set to start Winter Term as of Jan 11th and from there I am a student and future graduate of Strayer University!!! Whooo-hooooo!!!
