    Looks like I've decided to go back to college and finish my 4 year degree after a VERY LONG time.

    After much research I've pretty much decided on Southwestern, KS - but I have some concerns:
    1) I've sent a couple of emails requesting information from them but have had no response.
    2) Their website has had SQL errors and as of today has a page that says I need Zend Optimizer installed to view the page. I thought that had to be on their server - not my computer.
    3) Extremely slow load times at peak hours.

    With that said, and after reading everything I could find on this forum, what is the general opinion of Southwestern? Customer service, class delivery, quality, etc.

    As an aside, in my research I ran across the University of Wyoming. I've noticed a number of queries on the forum about program costs and found U of W only charges $132 per credit hour for DL classes. Seems like the lowest considering it's a brick and mortar and great University.

    Thanks for any feedback.

    One of our moderators here, a really cool guy named Gregg L. DesElms, once started a thread on Southwestern (I'm assuming you mean the one in Kansas) and he really likes them. I'll see if I can dig up that old thread for you. By the way, though you couldn't have known it, because you're new here, my friend DesElms does have one rule, and that is this: persons making a thread-starting post asking about a specific school should provide a www address for same. I'll see if I can dig that up for you, too. BTW: If it's good enough for DesElms, it's gotta be good.
