New guy be gentle

Although the course-work is online I suspect that lack of TV advertising, etc, works in their favor reputation-wise. Also, as mentioned previously, TESC and COSC are actually state colleges, so instant credibility. I'm actually planning on EC but if all things were otherwise equal I would go to a school with "State College" in the name. As it is, EC works better for me.

As for UoP I don't know why some people are so against it. I know it varies from place to place, but I know people who have gone there and had their share of complaints but not worse than anywhere else.
