Honestly, studying at University of the People has been kind of a mixed bag for me. On the good side, it’s affordable and flexible. I can keep up with classes while juggling other stuff in life. The online format makes it possible to study from anywhere, which is a big deal for me.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Sometimes the workload feels heavier than expected, and because it’s all online, you really need to be self‑disciplined. There are moments when I wish there was more direct support or faster feedback from instructors.
Overall, I’d say it’s a solid option if you’re motivated and looking for a low‑cost way to earn a degree. It’s not perfect, but it works, and I’d recommend it to people who are ready to put in the effort without expecting a traditional campus vibe.
