Review:

I just started with FHSU this summer.  

*Support:  Enrolling had to be the hardest task of all.  Since I'm no very familiar with the college scene, let alone the virtual part. I found it very hard to know what I was suppose to do and what was going on.  

No one contacted me to explain the process, and my phone calls seemed to just get me caught up in the transferring process.  When I finally reached the person in charge of the Virtural Business portion of the program, she was the least bit helpful.  The only way to contact her was thru email, and I specified questions, that I was expecting an answer for, but I didn't.  I had to write her again and outline my question once again.  

Just the whole enrolling and getting started portion was a big headache.  With VERY little support.  

*Technology:  Here lately there seems to alway be a problem with their Blackboard. What actually prompted me to come and writ this review is, I'm in the middle of a test and the site has just went capoot.  I have no idea what my test result are.  I have studied for 2 chapters and I'm ready to take my test while the info is still fresh, but the site doesn't work.  This isn't the first time this had occured either.  

Cost:  I guess the cost of attending is pretty good.  My biggest issues are the cost of books.  I'm only taking 2 classes for the summer and spent over $400 for the books and video's needed.  

Teachers:  My teachers thus far has been GREAT, really prompt with emails and their lectures are very well put together.  The only problem is their technology (videos) are very old and choppy.  

Overall, I still intend on continuing to graduate from this school.  Also a good resource of picking your instructors is on Myspace.  Myspace has a network where you can grade your teachers.  I'm really PO'd at the advisor though, for allowing me to take these classes that I'm taken for summer, because there is too much material to be covered in a short summer semester
