I don't really think you can go wrong choosing TESU. It's possible you might pay a little less at one of the others, but that depends on many factors. I can easily see someone choosing them for the name, program accreditation, and ease of planning on this board.

Im being pretty indecisive about which one of the four to go to. Keep weighing my options over cost and was ease of completion according to their requirements.

One of the reasons I ended up going with TESU is because of the name, though it isn't the only reason. The fact that it's a state university with regional accreditation and an ACBSP business school were bigger factors for me. The fact that I needed about half the UL credits for the same degree at TESU was also a deciding factor in my selection. Of course, at the time I decided on TESU, they were also more middle of the road price wise (each of the big 3 was within about $1,000 of each other).
That said, I didn't know much about WGU at the time, or I might have gone that way instead since they also have an ACBSP business school, more IT-related degree programs, and they come in a bit less expensive than the big 3. I'm going there for my masters instead.
