Review:

I have attended AMU for the past 4 years.  Overall an outstanding school.

Several things drew me towards AMU -- online flexibility, doesn't exceed TA reimbursement, undergraduate book grant, and regional accreditation.  

My experience with instructors has varied from excellent to fair.  However, I have also attended other colleges as a resident (not online), and found the same issues with instructors.

As for faculty support, I have had success and good, accurate answers.

The majority of my classes have had hard copy books.  Once AMU receives TA payment, the book order goes to the book provider.  Since I am in an undergraduate program, the books are paid for.

How can I ask for more than the military to pay 100% TA and the college covers books?  For me, a huge selling point.

A person will only get out of a school what they put into a school.  In other words, if you don't want to do the research, reading, etc then I don't know what you are going to get out of it.

I would recommend AMU to my fellow military brethren.  I enjoy th flexibility of classes (8 weeks only), the book grant, and the education I am getting through AMU.
