<p>What do you guys think about taking online college courses? I've been thinking of doing that. Considering the school is about 2 hours away, plus I don't have a car. The only issue is the money. It's about $45k for an Associates Degree in Network Systems Administration. So is it all worth it, you think? Anything would help, thanks! Also, the college is DeVry.</p>
<p>It seems very expensive for an associate’s degree. Personally, I think you would be better off enrolling at a community college. Most community colleges would cost much less than that for an associate’s degree even if you lived on campus. Many community colleges ( and 4 year state Us) also have some of their classes available online, so you could probably get quite a bit done online.</p>
<p>Plus how are you planning to come up with the $45k?</p>
<p>Everyone says that a Community College is far cheaper, and I agree. The thing is, i don’t want to take general education. DeVry focuses on the career itself. I also heard but im not 100% sure that it only takes 3 years for a BS. I guess it’s like a technical school</p>
<p>And if I do decide to enroll into the online course, my dad would be paying for the mean time. That is until I get a part time job and help my dad. Also financial aid help.</p>
<p>I would be very careful about for profit schools such as Devry. If you have any “brick and mortar” options, I’d choose them instead.</p>
<p>It would be way cheaper to buy a used car and commute to community college for an associates degree. You do the associates with a plan in mind to possibly transfer to a 4 yr school. Not sure DeVry’s credits would transfer…</p>
