I was on this forum yesterday and read some of the comments from a very few students.  Specically, one student claims the school does not return emails as they should and that they are very slow in grading exams or on waiting for make up exams.  He also point out that some of his concerns, although, minor, have gone unanswered.  I signed up for an Associate in Paralegal studies and at this juncture in my life, "Time is of the essence" and a very slow/lengthy waiting period for answers or to keep the interaction going with the school is not what I want or need.  Nassau Community College in New York provides such a Degree and they provide flexibility in doing so:  Broadcast Classes on Cable as well as Radio, as well as Internet based while they also have a campus and one can do a combination of these features to finish the Degree.  Nassau is also approved by the American Bar Association, and it is also very affordable - I just joined Penn Foster and have 7 days to decide if I want to continue there or not, before I am held liable for tuition money.

Please anyone out there with comments or feedback about the school and their feelings about it will be greatly appreciated

Any Ideas about any other school that might be better more or less within the same price range???

I truly believe that when people are candid and willing to share the world can be a better place!  Please help...

That could have been my post you were reading.  It is true that on the English Comp exams it took anywhere from 2-4 weeks to receive my grades, although you can keep working on the next assignment while waiting for your grades.  Email response time is usually 2-3 days.  I find phone calls are a much better way of contacting Penn Foster College.  I should point out that this is probably not all that unusual among online schools, and I did recently re-enroll at PFC.

Hi, I am a student at Penn Foster and I am not happy with the school.

Could you be more specific?  What is it about PFC that you don't like?
