Isn't WGU a no brainer choice for CS Bachelor? Why did so many people choose TESU?

but the great thing about wgu is the 6 month term                
so if "life happens" in the middle of a wgu term that's a lot better than it happening in the middle of a tesu term                         

the extra months also help if you procrastinate like I'm doing LOL          
I absolutely hate writing papers - WGU's English Composition 1 requires 4 papers -- each one 2 to 4 pages          
now because I hate writing I have put this off and put this off and put this off 

one week I might write 3 sentences and then "I AM SO BORED" 
I do nothing for the next two weeks 
then I write 3/4 of a page
then nothing for a week 
and so on and so on 

if I did this at TESU or Excelsior or LSU or even study.com I'd keep getting incompletes and have to keep reenrolling and spending money  
but with WGU I can be lazy and keep putting it off with no problems (is that a good thing?) 
in the mean time I can do courses I'm actually interested in 

I think the better option would be the Big 3 where you can transfer in almost everything but the cornerstone and capstone. 

but you still have to pay for the courses you're transferring in  
yeah, with Modern States and Sophia the costs of the transfers may not be huge, but even if it's just $50 per credit that's $5700 and even if its just $20 a credits its $2280 
then you still have to pay for the 6 credits at TESU which is $3000   

everyone's different, but I'd rather just pay the one fee at WGU and do as many (or as few) courses as I like and not have to think about it

I'd say the absolutely best thing about TESU is the flexibility 
6 required courses, one required capstone and SIX ELECTIVES !

that is awesome !

with WGU you're locked into the curriculum 
you can transfer a bunch of courses in or take them there, but you have no leeway in electives for your major
