Default what do you guys think of online colleges?

im contemplating whether or not I want to transfer to an online college....the reason being that I have really bad social anxiety and I don't learn very well in classroom situations....any good ones out there?...I know everyone has heard of the University of Phoenix..those type of colleges...whatcha think?

All I can say is that you better get one that's accredited. I've seen reports on people that spent 10's of thousands on an education that would NOT be recognized. :hs:

I'm going to have to agree with RB. Deal with the anxiety of sitting in the back of a classroom just listening instead of risking online university disappointment/failure.

Just get an Ebay degree, much cheaper, and worth about the same.

Isn't Westcoaststyle getting his Masters Online? I don't think he'd pay for crap.
