"I am so far satisfied. It is easy and flexible."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | So far, the course work is easy and informative. I would not recommend it yet, as I need to see what the rest of the program is like. |
| School Reputation | 5 | I am not sure yet. I have not heard anything either good or bad. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 9 | I am currently attending Everest Online. This is my first semester, but thus far everyone has been very helpful. The admissions team walked me through the process, and my books and supplies arrived very quickly to get started on time with my classes. |
| Instruction | 5 | So far, we have only had week 1 of class. I did a few quarters at a community college before, and what we have done so far at Everest is pretty much on par with what we did at the other college. |
| Cost | 5 | Tuition is kind of high compared to a community college. On the other hand, tuition includes all classes, fees, books, supplies, and a laptop to use for school. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Class assignments are posted on Sunday at 12:01am and are not due until Saturday by 11:59pm. You are able to work all week, and do work on your own time. |
| Academic Facilities | 4 | There are tutors available, and some online references. Overall though, the resources are pretty limited. |
| Social Life | 1 | It is an online college. There is a message board for each class, but that is all. |
| Placement Services | 8 | There are many resume and interview preparation tools available online. There is also a department dedicated to helping new graduates find jobs. |
| Alumni Network | The school seems to have a lot of help programs in place. I have not yet had a chance to utilize any of these. |
