What is it really like to be a WGU student?

With the pandemic, a lot more university students have been going to school online, but every university and every student does school a little differently. So, what’s it really like to be a WGU student? We recently asked real students to tell us about their WGU experience-walk us through a day in their life. When do they fit in study? How do they deal with family obligations? How do they work their school around their jobs? From the times and places they’ve found that work best for their studies to getting help with courses, taking exams, and staying in touch with other WGU students, here are several real students’ real responses to what their life is like as a WGU student.

I'm glad you sent me this here. The man named Eric said I have to go to some classes on Google to study for two or three months. Then I will be ready for computer 🖥️ school at home. Now hopefully we can get started in a better format for me.

WGU says that Competency-based education is our unique learning model that allows you to be in the driver's seat of your own education. Students don't take traditional classes at a certain time-coursework is entirely online and you can move through the assignments at whatever pace works for you. Use your previous knowledge and experience to help you accelerate or spend more time on areas that are new. WGU is a school that actually fits within your busy life, not the other way around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4KXiqasd8mtgcU

is it only for us citizens ?

Hello! At the present time, WGU is accepting applications only from individuals living in the United States. (The exceptions are U.S. active-duty military personnel and their families at overseas installations and individuals living in Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.) Unfortunately, we have discovered we cannot always guarantee that the educational experience for students living outside the United States will meet our high standards for quality and convenience. It is our expectation that these problems will be solved in future years. An Enrollment Counselor has more information about which areas are eligible to submit applications.

@@wguhi! I just spoke with an enrollment counselor last week and told them I live in Guam and didn’t tell me about this. So are u guys accepting individuals from Guam now?

Do you need a web cam for every exam ?

[@melindajordan9343]

Yes - an external wide angle cam. About $50 expense online.
