Dear Joe, These past few weeks at AXIA College online have been great. The resources available are great we have an online library that gives you access to virtually anything. We have some really cool writing centers and for me and my scattered brain, I think it’s going to help me put all my thought’s down effectively. We even have a center to help out for math. The online classroom and campus is so easy to navigate and get used to. I really like the online classroom environment and discussion. It is fun to interact with classmates from around the country. Our online books are cool too! But the biggest thing is the faculty and staff of UOP is really what made this all possible for me from the ease of the enrollment to financial process. I must admit at first I was little intimidated, but after the orientation I felt right at home. I think maybe with your busy schedule you might want to consider this college for yourself.
Your friend,
