WGU best option for me?

[publius2k4]

I took the majority of my undergrad at WGU and then transferred to COSC, so I'll share my perspective with you.

At WGU, I was very pleased with my ability to move through my studies quickly. At COSC, I was stuck with the semester format. Early in my studies (when I was completing lower level coursework at WGU) this benefited me greatly because I was able to complete 36 credits in my first semester. However, after I got into courses where I knew less about the subject matter, my progress slowed quite a bit. I managed to earn 88 credits at WGU before switching to COSC. Having an actual professor for each course helped me learn a lot more than the self-paced "on your own" format at WGU. So truly, it all depends on your learning style.

At WGU, I felt alone even though I had a mentor to coach me along. At COSC, I truly felt like the school WANTED me to graduate....not just stay enrolled long enough for the school to collect my tuition for that term.
