745 Words3 Pages

Transferring to PLU has been one of the major decisions I had ever made for myself. PLU was my first initial choice, but I was afraid of being in debt, considering that PLU is a private university. Towards the end of my summer vacation, after I graduated from high school, I had second thoughts about UW and had decided to transfer schools last minute. Instead, I decided to stick with UW because I was already enrolled, and I thought I could pull through with my decision. Evidently, my decision to transfer remained the same once I had gone through one quarter at UW. I had called PLU after 2 weeks of my Fall quarter to keep my option to transfer available, and just my luck, PLU accepted me again without having to reapply.

    Second reason is the tuition and the payment methods you give your students are very fair and reasonable being able to make payments is something that really helps and makes it possible to go to school while working fulltime. Third reason is the way APUS approached me after applying, I have looked at other schools like Saint Leo University and Aspen Colorado University and yes they are good schools but were either to pushy with phone calls everyday and not giving me space to decide what it is that I want or not being able to get in contact with someone with questions that I did have. That is why I continued to look at other schools and when I came across APUS and applied I had been approached via phone call and email informing me that if I have any questions with my application I can call or email and for me emailing is a big thing due to the fact I work full time on the west coast so sometimes I am not able to return a phone call as soon as possible. APUS has explained things for me and really seems to help show me how to break things down and I really admire that about your school and the fact it is a online school makes it very manageable for me while working full
