A lot of fears of mine were proven unfounded as my first class at Villanova has come to a recent close. While it was a challenge to balance out my responsibilities at work and home with the class, I made it. I participated in class (probably was among the top two conversation drivers in fact), and had a great time writing essays and reading the material required. Now I’m looking forward to re-upping, but this time, closer to either home or work. Villanova is perfect for a working adult, and I’m happy to have went there for my first class, but if I am to take multiple courses a semester, it has to be faster to reach or online. The hours spent driving were hours that could have been spent studying or helping at home.
Last week I attended an information session at Penn’s College of Liberal and Professional Studies. What it could provide in terms of flexibility, coursework, and distance were great – but cost – at about $10-$15k a year isn’t responsible for my family.
I’m planning on checking out the Graduate! Philadelphia organization next. There’s a solution that will fit and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey.
You have no idea how blessed I feel to have this opportunity.
Karl, you may want to page me about school. I am at Penn for the MCIT program there. Spending a lot of money and hoping to get a job there so I won’t have to spend that money anymore. But, I was interested in Nova because of evening classes, I may need to tap your brain about the program you were in and how it was for you.
There’s also DeVry, which has online and hybrid courses, with local classes in Center City and Fort Washington.
Hi Todd, I’ll email you. I’ll keep DeVry in mind Mark. Thanks.
