Learning on the Move
- I am currently in the process of moving to the opposite side of the U.S for my marriage and in order to continue with my college I would have to either wait until fall or go online. I chose to go online so that way in fall I have my foot in the door and also several classes under my belt

On Call
- I'm an aspiring actor. So, I'm always on-call for a potential audition. I need to be able to show up in the middle of the day without a lot of advanced notice. By taking classes online, I can still work on my degree without sacrificing my acting career. When I do finally get an extended role - and that's what I'm hoping for - I won't have to drop out of school.

Family Responsibilities
- I'm a single parent with a job. Trying to balance actual classes in between driving kids to school / karate practice and work would be impossible. With online learning, I can do my coursework whenever I have a spare minute (or when the kids are finally in bed).
