My experience I would describe as an adventure. The studies and assignments were always exciting and intriguing to me. Whenever I did need the extra help, I would get it from the team without fail, it was just a breeze.
When I came across online business school, I was immediately attracted to it. It is not only affordable but very convenient as well. I work full time but at the same time have a passion for my studies and this is the only platform I came across that allowed me to pursue both.
