I learned a lot. The teachers are very supportive and assist you in numerous ways.
|
Did enjoy being here

I love it. I definitely want to graduate from Rio Salado.

Bang for the buck
|
I was awarded financial aid. I do know that they have a system where they publish their own text books, allowing students discounts on their textbooks.
|
Tips for prospective students
|
Definitely well organized online curriculum. They have been involved with online learning for quite some time.
|
Great for these types of students

Mothers, and fathers. People that are employed or a homemaker can work online when they have time or can print a lot of the syllabus and work on their courses without being glued to your operating system.

great college for students who do not have the schedule that will allow for on-site classes. the teachers are all very good at answering questions or concerns, and stay in close contact with the students.

I love Rio I get to complete college on my time. I am a mother, a full time employee, and a full time student and even have time for a social life. Rio makes all this possible with their flexibility of online classes.
|
Tips for prospective students
|
Take a College Preparation class, it sound silly but it was so worth it. It is also important to take at least one fun class a semester. It is kind of like a reward for taking classes that are required.
|
Academic Rigor

Study hard not you might not this opportunity later.

Dorm Life
|
Nope. Live at home in my own place
|
Food and Dining
|

What to do for fun

The school is able to provide Rio only text books this means that they can be claimed on the tax return 100% and then the other books that are not Rio books can be rented.
