    Hi Angel,

    I am just starting my second semester in the Marketing program at Penn Foster.  I have been very pleased with PFC overall. I think a few areas could use some improvement, such as the length of time for waiting for grades for certain assignments, such as essay grades in English Composition.  I have a 3.41 grade point average so far, and I plan to finish the entire program.  I have learned a lot so far, and you definitely can't beat the price!

    Hellp Angel,

    I joined Penn Foster just 1 year ago as an adult learner for a High School diploma.So far I am quite happy with the program and the response time to questions..I am over halfway the the required 102 exams and just needed to contact them twice for a question.

    Like our expierienced tcord1964 said essays and written assignments can take a bit longer.So far I had to send 2 wriiten assignments ans one essay for English composition. Got my grades online aprox. 2 weeks after I send them and received the correcteg papers back after 3 to 4 weeks.

    If you can study on your own, look for answers and solutions before you ask a question than Penn Foster is a fine school. On completition of my High School program I intend to start with an associate in Hospitakity Management Degree program. Except for Mc Kinley College you never gind a better price.

    Good luck with your studies!

    Hi my name is Kelsie and last year I enrolled as a Penn Foster Student. Were u thinking the same thing i was. this is going to be great staying home and doing my work not having to go through  drama filled place that we call school. i have completed 66 out of my 102 exams and i think by the end of the summer i'll be done.. i hope. i miss my friends from school and my best friend (used to be) thought that i had abandoned her and she doesn't speak to me anymore.

    But i almost gave up and said i was going back to school.. but im sticking it out and continuing my program until im done

    If you have any questions at all feel free to ask or  u just wanna talk  : )
