I found the University of the People to be a good experience. The online aspect allowed me to study at my own pace, and the resources available, e.g., peer-to-peer conversation and virtual classroom, proved helpful. The free tuition aspect made it affordable, which is a major advantage. However, the amount of work required proved to be overwhelming at times, and sometimes the lack of face-to-face contact with teachers proved to be difficult. Overall, it provided me with the expertise and skill that I needed in order to continue my education without the cost generally attached to further learning.
