Indeterminate

A friend of mine recently graduated with a B.A. in History, but he is looking to get an M.A. in English, which could allow him to pursue a PhD in English eventually. He told me he found an online program at Mercy College in New York State. I said that an onsite program would probably look better on a PhD application. Also, an onsite program is probably cheaper, and more likely to offer some financial aid. Am I correct? Has anyone had any experience with online degrees? Should my friend try to find an onsite program?

Congratulations again! Is it just me, or does it seem as if they are notifying one acceptance per day? I have yet to receive an email, and my online application still reads: "Submission Status: Submitted."
