I started at the Penn State University Campus but eventually transferred to the PSU World Campus. PSU World Campus is fully online and I had a great experience with it there. I was there for over 2 year to finish my degree and I did not have any technical issues the whole time I was there. They had recorded videos, lectures, and teaching modules that were easily accessible. All of your grades, schedule, teachers, and more were on one page which made is very user-friendly. Online learning will be more and more important in the future, especially in the time of the novel Coronavirus. Kids and college students will have to stay home and learn more from home. I also became so interested in online learning that I kept taking classes through Udemy and actually landed a part-time job working in a Teacher's Assistant role for one of the highest-acclaimed teachers there. I can easily say that online learning is the next big thing!
This was my first time back to school since 2011 when I decided to "take a semester off." I am now 28 years old, a full-time mom, bartender, and now student and Penn State World Campus was the best decison I have ever made. I genuinely enjoy my college experience and they are so accommodating and understanding of people with busy schedules. I definitely made the right choice and am looking forward to entering into my new and second semester back!
I chose all that applied for on campus as to not leave a bad review, but I attend all classes through online courses and highly recommend!

I am 100% the kind of person that thrives with an online education environment, so this was exactly the right kind of program for me, personally. It allowed me to organize my school work with my job and I was fortunate to be able to do so. The flexibility was important to me, as well as the learning format. I do well self-learning and organizing my time, so I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is similar. I wanted to finish my BA in two years (after transferring) so I took a full-time course load, mostly 5 classes per semester. I only recommend taking that many courses at a time if you are truly able to find that work/life/school balance and are motivated to succeed. If that is the case, this is the program for you!
