Welcome
Group Speeddog Results Marketing, L.L.C. is moderating this blog to get the nation's first hand experiences about online colleges.
<>How do they compare to brick and mortar colleges?
<>Did you feel like you were a valued member of the college community?
<>How was the internet experience?
<>Did you have password, registration or server issues? How bad. Did they effect your grade?

Please share your experiences. Maybe together we can change the manner in which these schools treat their students.
