Very interesting discussion! I am a CollgePlus student and I love it. It fits me perfectly. I do agree that CollgePlus isn’t for everyone. It is geared toward Christian homeschoolers.
I have been homeschooled my whole life. I started CollegePlus right after I turned 16. I will be finishing my degree in 2 years instead of 4 and I will be graduating from highschool with a BA in college at the same time. I have never had to study for the SAT or anything like that. I’m also skipping my last 2 years of high school because college credit covers high school too. I have been very blessed with hard working parents: My mom who has given me my schooling up until CP and my dad who is the provider for my family and is paying for my degree. Paying for CP is not an issue for me thanks to my parents. With CP you are basically paying for an advisor. My mom is busy homeschooling my 3 younger siblings so CP helps a lot. A CP coach helps you decide what degree you want to get, helps you plan your schedule, provides accountability, helps you decide what order to take the CLEPs, tells you what books to study, etc. They tell you step by step exactly what to do to get your degree done in 2 years or less. They have done all their research so you don’t have the risk of accidentally making a mistake.
Not being under the influence of the secular worldview is another reason why my parents and I have chosen this form of accelerated distance learning. I am a Christian and I try to live my life according to the Bible as best as I can. Sitting in a biology classroom listening to only the evolutionist viewpoint is doing nothing for my faith (btw my parents have felt it important for me to learn both sides and I have). Then having to give them back the “right” answers which totally go against everything I believe in. Not to mention the presser from my peers can really wear me down. I get enough of the world and socialization without going to public school or traditional college.
All that to say… CollegePlus has really been an answer to prayer and a blessing in my life. (To those of you who took the time to read this, yes I am already aware that I’m one of those “confused” Christian/homeschooled weirdos ;-) )
