I'm just curious what the general consensus in on Kaplan University. The reason I ask is because I am a stay at home mom with an 11 month old daughter. My husband works full time and it gone most of the time. We also live out in the middle of no where. I'm seriously considering getting my AAS in Medical Assisting online at Kaplan because an online school is really the only possibility. I was a CNA for a few years awhile back and ever since then I've wanted to be in the medical field. What I'm afraid of is that I'll shuck out roughly $7000 in student loans (the actual program costs about $10000) and then I won't be able to get a job or get paid decently because of the school I went to. I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to go to school so badly...but the only schooling I'm able to take is online...but a lot of the online schools are horrible.

Oh...and if you know of any online schools better than Kaplan, let me know. Thanks!

Check out the availability of jobs in your area along with the starting salary before you go that deep into debt. Schools will sell you a bill of goods and then leave you high and dry once they have your hard earned cash. Do the research or you may have buyers remorse!
