Here I sit in my third semester at Rutgers in the SCILS program. In that time I have changed my commute from the living room to the basement, upgraded my backpack from a stack on the floor to real shelves, and learned more than I ever thought possible without setting foot on a college campus. I am an online student who fits school in with all the other things that make up a life and I never have to drive to New Brunswick to do it. It has been odd to adjust to not seeing people but it hasn't impeded my ability to get to know my cohort. Of course I could trip right over them in the street - but that is a whole 'nother story! When I talk to non-students about the program the typical reaction is "wow - you can do that? how does that work?" and I always answer the same way...if I wasn't able to get my degree online I couldn't be going to school right now, so no matter the potential issues it is worth it!
Here is a picture of the building that I travel to for classes....
