I've already posted this elsewhere, but I want to expand this a little bit more to here. I have searched on here and read some of the opinions about it, some were positive, some were negative. I am not looking to pay for my degree and I know that's not what this place is, I am looking for a quicker way to get my degree though. With all of my prereqs done I could easily finish their program in 2.5 years, but I would have to pay close to 85k (45k in private student loans, and the rest I'm federal). I see this as an investment, but I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks here because this is obviously a huge choice for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated positive, or negative.

Run the numbers on the decades of student loan debt you would be aquiring. Then decide if getting done faster is worth the decades of not being able to afford things you want. Things like a nicer home, vacations, a decnt car.

I graduated from a community college with $0 in debt and it'll cost me about 9k to do my bachelors online. Sometimes it pays to be patient

If you have all your pre-reqs done it should take a lot less time than 2.5 years. I went in with nothing and it will be 3 years when I am done. I go there now. I like it. It IS expensive but I'm an older student and didn't want to go the community college route and take more time than necessary.
