Penn Foster College Students Speak Out
Anyone that has took the time recently, to look over a few of the online reviews for colleges online; may remember something about Penn Foster. I know this college stuck out in my head when I was going through all the reviews. I guess you have to keep in mind that these are only reviews and anyone can submit them online. However, judging from a few of the comments I saw, it appears there might be a penn foster scam going on. Or this online college may be a little more suited for the higher educated folks.
A lot of the penn foster reviews complained about a lack of support and the feeling of having to fend for yourself. I know I can become very frustrated at times; when I try to learn something new or something that I consider hard to learn. I would certainly want someone from Penn Foster there to help and guide me along, so I know I wasn’t wasting my time doing something wrong. When you choose to get an online degree, the emails you send and receive become a very important lifeline for your online education. If students at Penn Foster are not getting speedy replies from their teachers at this online school, I could easily see why some students are upset there.
I believe there is another thing with the money it costs to attend the Penn Foster online school. I’m not sure if Penn Foster is failing to tell these new students about all the costs that are involved to attend there or if its the students misunderstanding their enrollment forms. There are some students at Penn Foster that are paying more money than they expected to.

Most of you out there that is planning to attend an online university in the near or distant future; may want to determine which field of study you plan to choose first.
