canadian universities & distance education ... your opin - satanstore - 09-15-2005
has anyone attended either of these canadian university's?
1. athabasca university and 2. university of manitoba.
Im intending on studying at either but I would first like to hear from you all, have any of you completed distance education programmes....have you'll attended the above mentioned univs, did you enjoy the experience.
brisbane seems to lack distance education alternatives for working professionals. do you all know where one can pursue DE whilst living in brisbane?
awaiting feedback
thnx

I took some economic courses through Athabasca University, I thought they were very good, well laid out course plans, good return times for assignments and tests.
I personally dont have the motivation for distance learning but if you are motivated and committed more power to you.
I was in Calgary and Athabasca University has a campus there which is where I took my exams Im not sure how that would work over here.
What I would suggest if it is possible, do the first 2 or 3 years via distance then transfer your credits to a school where you can go on Campus, Im not sure what it is like here but distance education in Canada gets a bad rap and employers much prefer people who go to more established schools. Plus the parties are better
Good luck in your decision.

I agree , It has bad rep in USA too and hardly you can find a job . Attending the school is much better
