What's your opinion on The Open University UK?

[Chankosumo]

The whole idea that one must go to a school that "people have heard of" is a fallacy, an opinion. And most know what opinions are worth. There are institutional accreditors and degree evaluators out there. If they deem a degree to be valid, then the degree is valid. No more or no less valid than another valid one. There will always be those people who take joy in making others quit or discourage them from enrolling in a school they like/can afford/can attend or whatever reason one considers enrolling in a school that "people have not heard of" (again, a fallacy, an opinion). They will persistently argue that an employer "can", "may", or "could" be suspicious about your school. If one does indeed fall easily for this trap, then my suggestion is to work on his or her skill to actually argue.
