Feelings about TESU / online schools
#1
I'm sheepish about sharing that I went to TESU Sad Until about a month before graduation, I didn't think that I would be.

There are places where I want to share the degree I have, but omit the school name. However, I know if I do that, people might guess I went to an NA school, so I feel like I have to put TESU's name. Also, on LinkedIn you can't hide the school name.

I don't want people assuming I attended online and that it was less solid academically.

I also feel this way in part because of the confusing customer service at TESU. That shouldn't matter, but right before and after graduating, my opinion of TESU changed when I dealt with advising a few times, and I don't feel the same about the school. I feel like I can't recommend it to others or talk about my experiences with the school (even though TESU has a special place in my heart, I don't feel like I can tell people how quickly I did this, etc).

And I started feeling this way because I have this opportunity where I'll be posting my credentials next to other people's and networking with people with "better" degrees. I feel like I'll be under scrutiny and they will actually go and search for TESU and see that it's sort of catering to adults who want their first Bachelor's.

Even though WGU is more obviously online, right now I feel like I'm less worried about putting WGU's name. I guess I feel like it's a Masters which helps, and some things about them seem rigorous, well run, etc. But I feel that after graduating, I'll hesitate to say the WGU name too.

Help me feel better about telling people TESU (and WGU)?
