Review:

NCU has a tremendous upside if you're very self-directed and need/prefer to work at your own pace.  NCU's model is truly individualized learning, with no group projects, no live meetings, no synchronous sessions.  Learners can work at their own pace.  The pay-as-you-go format is also much easier on the wallet than places like Walden or Capella.

To get the most out of NCU, however, you can't be a wallflower.  You'll need to ask questions, be a little assertive if you don't get answers right away and generally speak up when/if problems occur.  I'm halfway through the the program and have had very few problems.  Those I have had were taken care of quickly and easily.
