Western Governors University Top Questions

While I love the ability to do the work at my own pace and in my own time, I sometimes wish there was face time with instructors in certain courses.

I don't have a worst.

I can't think of anything bad to say about Western Governor's. It was a great school that gave me wonderful support and all the tools I needed to complete my Bachelor's degree. If WGU had a Nurse Practitioner Program I would be enrolled there today.

The worse thing about my school is the lack of scholarships for current students.

This school is not for new college students or for people that don't have self-discipline. I have heard of a lot of students that drop because they aren't disciplined enough to do their schoolwork, especially when they have jobs and families and other responsibilities.

It is so small. There are no sports. I have tried to start more and that is incredibly hard for how small the school is. Because theres not sports, there's not mcuh school spirit. There is nothing to do besides go to class.

Because the school is comparitively new to the education field, there are limited numbers of degree programs. It does offer several of the most popular degree programs, but does not offer a wide variety of specialties with in the various programs.

Honestly? Haven't seen a downside yet. At least for me. I guess if you aren't motivated it would be harder to finish a degree, but at the same time you get to see almost instant results, so who wouldn't be motivated?

It is not really the worst thing about the school but just something to highly consider. You must be very self motivated.

I have not been admitted yet.
