UW Colleges Online Education Experience:
I absolutely loved my online experience. I have taken traditional classes in the past and I prefer online education because of the flexibility, the interaction with students and professors, and the general format of the program.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank all the UW Colleges professors. Online can be challenging and more so for the professors in terms of the amount of time it requires, so thank you. I recommend this type of education for family and friends that are interested in pursuing higher learning.

UW Colleges Online Education Experience:
I really enjoyed taking online classes as they provided me with a freedom of there being no real set schedule where I had to be in a classroom at a specific time.
Online classes also allowed me to take my school with me when I traveled. This freedom was a nice side benefit of my original reason for taking online courses: I could stay at home, and I wouldn't be spending a lot of money in gas from commuting.
