Review:

I'm so furious right now! I wish I'd actually listened to the reviews on this website.  I've always been an honor student, but between working full time, having a 14 month old, and being pregnant going to a regular university wasn't an option to finish up my undergrad.  So i decided to stick to TESC, but BIG mistake.  You're bombarded with phenomenal amounts of work, I'm expected to write a 3 page essay for each one of my 4 classes EVERY week. Like OKAY, I'm sooooo not super woman.  Needless to say, i ended up dropping 2 of my classes.  
The "mentors" are really there for no purpose, but to make your life more difficult, I don't think many of them are competent of even teaching the courses they're attempting to mentor.  For example my religious studies mentor is actually a journalism major that's very biased against every religion except his own.
After spending hours on my psych paper, the "mentor" gave me a 55, like what the hell? I even  had it reviewed by a friend that's doing  her PhD in psych, he had totally stupid remarks on the paper.  
I'd drop those 2 classes too, but then I'd have to pay the school some outrageous amount like $6000 or something, so I'm gonna tough it out, and if I do bad then screw it, but I'm so not gonna be here next semester, I'm transferring to La Salle University, they have an evening program for working people, and I'll get REAL professors that are competent to teach the course material.
The price isn't so bad, but considering you won't learn much if you have any of the mentors I have, is it really worth that hole in your wallet?
