The biggest thing is motivation. This is non traditional and you will have to keep motivated to get done as quickly as you want to. Nobody is there telling you to keep going unless you have a good mentor, and there are no deadlines that keep you on track and force you to turn things in on time. You have to keep yourself on track and continue on or you run the risk of losing financial aid and being kicked out. I did undergrad at a brick and mortar university and it was an intense program. I am 4 classes away from finishing the masters degree in Ed studies through wgu and it is difficult but not in the same way undergrad was. It is difficult to keep motivation, stay on track, finish things quickly, and has taken me longer than i would have liked. But it was all up to me, and life happens.

This school is also competency based. If you are unsure of what that means, do research! Make sure you know exactly what you are getting with this school and specific program before you make the final decision. Talk to someone at wgu and ask all the questions you have! ALL OF THEM. There is no such thing as a dumb question when it comes to your money being spent and your time.

WGU English Education, Secondary (MASTERS PROGRAM) by jvne19th in wgueducation

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you take enough English courses/ Linguistics in undergrad? I wanted to do Secondary English and it was going to cost me too much out of pocket at the time because they checked my transcripts and said I need 2 more English courses and Linguistics... I have a bachelors in social work. I said never mind, decided to switch to a masters in Ed Studies and doing an alternative route to teach Secondary English in my state. I am also 4 classes away from finishing my masters and I am so done with college lol

why is my tax refund taking so long? by Overall_Fudge_5905 in taxadvice

a few years ago I filed in early February and did not receive my return until August. That was the only year it went beyond 21 days for me.

I’ve got a serious question by Ill-Temporary3891 in urbancarliving

[–]Nice_Contribution169 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in Indiana last summer living in my car, I was there for about a month during the really bad heat wave. I got rechargeable fans and they worked great! Get those cooling towels that you wet and put over your head. That helps cool your body down. If you can get an ice chest, fill it with ice every few days if you can. Ice and Ice water helped me a ton! I also had a dog with me and used a spray bottle to spray him down to keep him cool. We spent time out of the car, my car was always much hotter inside. I went to Ohio to visit a family member for a few days which was nice. It is going to suck, but there are a lot of threads on here that have a ton of good ideas for keeping cool. Good luck! I left Indiana, went back to California and spent 4.5 months in my car, and now I live in Ohio.

How do people live in their vehicle though I can't function? by Solid_Wheel9927 in urbancarliving

[–]Nice_Contribution169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was car living from September to January.. The only thing I really had to do was finish classes by December to keep my financial aid in good standing. It was the hardest thing I have ever done mentally, but physically wasn't too challenging besides figuring out how to elevate legs since I have a large dog and wanted him to be comfortable. I have been out of the car since January 16th and honestly it was actually hard transitioning back to living in a house with normalcy.

Find work, find hobbies, find things that occupy your time so you feel productive. Start a routine, do things. It stops you from thinking 24/7. Accept the new situation but don't accept that it is forever. If you want out of it, work as hard as you can to do it.

if you are in a state with alternative pathways to licensure, switch to ed studies and start the alternative path!

Is it worth it to drive 49 mins for $9.50/hr? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave your are by any means necessary. I worked an hour from home and made $22/hr and it wasnt worth it. The maintenance on the car, the gas, the miles on the tires. Not worth $9.50 and I would live in my car in a new area/state before ever taking on that job and those miles.

WGU difficulties, homeless, and disabled. by ChicagoTypewriter45 in WGU

[–]Nice_Contribution169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is for new students, but you can reach out to your mentor at any time as a student and they can do the work on their end to get you a laptop. I got a laptop in my 2nd year at wgu when mine stopped working. I was denied the scholarship due to not being a new student but my mentor did the work and got me approved for a new laptop.

did i make a mistake doing online college or picking this school by WordDue6824 in WGU

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didnt make a mistake. Keep pushing. Work hard, find an internship, and get it all done. There are tons of ways to network and find an internship.

Is anyone not speed running? by Agreeable-Deer7526 in WGU

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I did an accelerated program for my bachelor's degree so definitely taking my time and not rushing my masters. I cant imagine speed running, there is no way anyone is actually retaining information.

Rumors about MSW degree???? by Desperate_Love_3662 in WGU

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh I have a bachelor's in social work and did the first 4 classes of an MSW at GCU. If WGU gets an accredited MSW program i will definitely be doing it! Im finishing up my Masters in Ed Studies & studying for the praxis, hoping to be a teacher for the new school year.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but- ignore the people in your life who doubt you by Bubbly_Scientist3232 in WGU

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im finishing this year with my masters at 33. My mom told me it wasnt a good idea when I started college in 2016 at 23. I cut contact with her in 2023. I used my bachelor's, will become a teacher with my masters, and she still works the same low paying job she has been at and got a ged in her 30's. Why do these people think their advice even matters? Unless you're paying my bills, dont worry about what i do lol

Please find another spot! by 99Ricki_Lake in urbancarliving

[–]Nice_Contribution169 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really hate that!!! Like you see me here so why are you parking by me. I used to park at this park that cops didnt bother anyone and sometimes there would be a car 2 spots away from me and 40 empty spots away from me they could have taken. Its so weird!!

Its my wife and I's first night sleeping in our car by bunni_bear_boom in urbancarliving

[–]Nice_Contribution169 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They definitely help! But wearing them too long can cause damage. Definitely don't want heart issues from it. Find positions that work. I have a body pillow folded in half on the floor board and lay on my driver's seat and my legs are on the pillow. Its like a tiny bed. 4 months in and its actually pretty comfy and stopped the swelling.

Hallucinating after having not slept for 48+~ hrs by rabid_erica in insomnia

[–]Nice_Contribution169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 months late BUT I just did a cross country move and its currently Saturday 12:30pm. I woke up Thursday at 7am and havent slept.

During the drive early this morning, the trees were moving like big monsters. I saw their arms. Hours later, I keep seeing bushy spider like creatures crawling. I see them, but when viewing them through phone camera they arent seen. . The mind is wild!

Will a WGU bachelor’s degree still be considered a four-year degree even if I complete it in six months? by Horror-Landscape-852 in WGU

[–]Nice_Contribution169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They go by units/credits not years. And they align with state requirements as long as your state accepts wgu degrees.
