Excelsior is a god send. Although there may be a few points I disagree
with standard colleges are horrifically overpriced and seem determined to weed out students. I took a year of university at a normal college. I was
dismayed by the attitude and quality of teachers. A lot of students were there because they had nothing else to do and didn't fit into the work
force. I got 15 marks marks off a chemistry midterm because I didn't label
my equipment in the right color of ink. I had a lab partner that was high all
the time. The halls were filled with tables attended by activists that were more filled with anger than knowledge of the issues they proported.
Fortunately online colleges are shielded from this fray. I take my hat off
to Excelsior for being so welcoming to other education experiences. If it
wasn't for them a lot of us wouldn't have a chance of getting a legitimate
degree. I looked at other online universities tthat advertise a lot but they are
so restrictive and expensive and not welcoming of outside courses
