My experience at 海角直播 has been great! Most of my teachers have been awesome and incredibly helpful and informative. I was easily able to take classes while working full time with the online options, and I feel like I have learned so much. I feel supported as an online student. Something that was a big help for me was the online student scholarship that is available for online students. This helped me better afford classes. I also like that we have multiple counselors allocated for online learning that are available when questions arise.

Online school is flexible and productive. I have really enjoyed being able to accomplish things I wouldn't have otherwise because I had small children and other obligations that made traditional classes difficult or impossible. I wish I had known that it was this "easy," I would have done it sooner. (It's obviously not always easy, but it's not as scary as it seems before you start.)
