Being a...

Correspondence University Student

To all those fellow correspondence students out there. What do you think you struggle with the most? How do you get through your day? How do you plan?

UNIVERSITY

Ahhh...

University is already hard as is. Going to school, getting up for school, getting to school on time, going to work and studying. But I chose the correspondence route. So when everyone is out of school for reading weeks, breaks (especially summer) I’m still in school.

Gross I know.

I enrolled in a University that is all online. I thought it was a good idea, but now I’m torn. Was this a bad idea? How am I going to complete these courses? Am I insane? Should I just go to an “actual in school university?”

NO

Here’s why I chose to stay in online courses.

There are few deadlines.

Course end date. Usually 4 months. So you have to complete either 1-5 courses of your choosing (from your graduate guideline)

Complete your course work, midterms & exams before the end date.

I can do the course whenever I’m free.

There are schedules so if you need them they will help. (Or you can make your own)

If family situations happen, if you have to move, if you are struggling you can get an extension.

I can have a full time job without having to go around courses.

With regular school you have to plan work around school and vice versa. With correspondence you don’t.

You can chose to be full time or a part time student. (It might take longer to complete the course)

If you are a correspondence student and you have some tips and tricks that would help with studying, note taking and organization just put some notes down below! I would love to hear about how you go along your day, how you plan everything.
