Quality of education was the real issue for my son compared to when I attended the same school.

I was taught by local business leaders and real human instructors while he was 'guided' through many online sessions using computer-based curriculum. This strategic change dramatically lowered his interactive learning opportunities and made success very difficult. Frankly, it was the one of the most disappointing thing I had ever seen.

Ultimately, he gave up and switched to a technical school and moved on with his life rather than dig a mountain of debt for nothing.
