Need help deciding between the big three.

TESU has the best reputation... not sure that matters tho.

None of the Big 3 has any reputation to speak of, so that's not true.

TESU is more popular on this forum because it's the easiest to plan due to a number of factors.  That does NOT make it a better school.  When it gained popularity here, it was kind of a self-perpetuating cycle.  We knew where a lot of courses came in, then more people applied and then reported back their course equivalencies and where they fit in their degree, leading to knowing about even more courses, and it just repeated and repeated until we have a very complete course equivalency listing from multiple providers.  It was also the cheapest of the schools several years ago.  That is not the case now.

I predict that WGU and COSC will take over in popularity here for the next few years, until something happens to make another school more popular: TESU changes their price structure, a new course provider comes in, EC's tuition goes down, COSC's tuition goes up, etc.

That is a very fair assessment.  It made me quite happy to read.
