I've haven't started yet but can't wait until I do. I feel this is my time to accomplished more in my life. Plus their very flexible when it comes to me working and spending time with my family. I know this is my time to do something for myself.
Disclaimer: my experience has occurred during the COVID pandemic.
They quality of education I have received through my online courses has been less than that of what I received at my local community college. The instructors are inflexible, lazy, and poor teachers. My intro to statistics class had no lectures and consisted of a few short 10 minute videos filmed in the early 90's instructing us how to complete our assignment for the week. She was confrontational in emails. I contact the tutoring departments where no one was able to help nor were they able to adequately direct me towards someone who could.
I opted into the pass/fail grading scheme which came into play during COVID. The class would have hurt my GPA. I was put on academic probation for doing so despite passing with a B+.
I took chemistry afterwards. There were at least 5 different course shells and only two teachers. The student teacher's assistants were obviously the ones grading every assignment that was not automated.

If you want a valuable education and want to become an attractive graduate for employers, stay away. Professors could not care less about their students. Food is terrible and safety is also an issue.
