soccer2grl Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Hi! I was accepted to South Carolina's distance program. I also applied to distance programs for Idaho State, Northern Colorado and Western Kentucky University. Edited March 20, 2014 by soccer2grl

ljhslp Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I was also accepted to the South Carolina program. I am not positive if I'll be attending, though!
LifeJourney Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I seriously considered this option. I took several of my CSDS undergrad courses online. Then I switched to in the classroom. I loved the classroom experience.
skay65 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 ljhslp - I think we are emailing! I seriously considered this option. I took several of my CSDS undergrad courses online. Then I switched to in the classroom. I loved the classroom experience. I've traditionally been a classroom learner too, but I think the web-based system might work out really well. My roommate is in a web-based pharmacy program now, similar to the set up of USC. She has shed a lot of light on what it's like to be a web-based student, but was still hoping someone might have some feedback about what they've heard about SLP programs online. You didn't happen to apply to USC did you?
soccer2grl Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Nice! I was also accepted to South Carolina's program. Do you plan on attending? I'm not sure. I just interviewed at Mercy today, and I think if I got in there, I would go. However, USC's program would be my second choice. Do you, or anyone else, know anything about their specific program?
skay65 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 I'm not sure. I just interviewed at Mercy today, and I think if I got in there, I would go. However, USC's program would be my second choice. Do you, or anyone else, know anything about their specific program? To be honest, not really. It's the only school I applied to and it was my number one choice because of the layout of the program and because I think it's the best fit for me. I have a bunch of preconceived notions about what DE will be like, and I'm trying to figure out if it's true or not. The biggest thing is that I just want to be happy and start to enjoy life and my living scenario right now really isn't safe/enjoyable. My living situation will be much better in this program...I also tend to get depressed from being inside a classroom all the time. I like the idea of being able to take my classes and work with me outside and slowing down the pace just enough to where I don't feel like I'll be rushed through the program. I don't expect USC's program to be "easy" or any less difficult, just material in smaller doses. I'm loving the idea of not having to rush to class, find parking, sit in traffic etc. I think omitting many of the small daily stresses is going to go a long way...but I think I'm going to miss meeting with peers on a regular basis. I guess we'll all find out at orientation and during the first semester how things will play out. I hope whatever choice you choose works best for you! Please keep me updated on your decision!
virginiarunninggirl Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Seriously considering distance learning programs. Being able to work while going to school, yes... Not having to deal with traffic every day, yes... Not having to deal with the politics of on campus programs, Yes. Not having to deal with the confines of potentially being stuck in one area or having a long distance marriage--double yes!

ljhslp Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Did anybody else make a FINAL decision to go Distance education!?
marina_ballerina Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Yep, I'm doing University of Northern Colorado's distance masters! Looking forward to being able to stay on part-time at my job, or spend time with a baby if we decide to have one in the next few years
BeckSLPplease Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Applied to NOVA for their distance program and awaiting a response.. . .
