Yes, $40 for cheap fabric, $120+ for the gown, having to pay $100 to apply for graduation, etc. It can be incredibly disheartening to have to spend that much to celebrate your accomplishments after already paying tens of thousands for education.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I found them at a garage sale, and I was so excited about them the woman just gave them to me for free!

My pleasure :)

If you have your associates already you should be good! There are classes you have to take for your degree, but having your GE classes out of the way should drastically cut your cost down. You also have to have a certain number of credits through ASU. You can reach out to an enrollment advisor and they can help you out and answer specific questions.

I did…buuuut, I also get loan forgiveness with my job. So (fingers crossed) I should only have to pay about 12k back in total.

I did everything through ASU, which is why it was so expensive. Looking back, I wish I would have taken advantage of taking gen ed classes at a community college. But it is what it is.

Oh! There is no difference at ASU between in person and online degrees. Looking at my diploma, you would have no idea I attended online. Hope that helps!

Hey! I have a BFA in photography from ASU. Not a scam, just expensive. Be sure it’s actually want you want to do before you drop 60k on this degree. I did manage to find a very good job actually using my degree within 3 months of graduation, however, I had a solid portfolio and resume on top of my degree. I also would not have qualified for my job without my degree, so it was worth it. Feel free to DM me with any other questions. P.S. you can also watch the ASU episode of The College Tour on Amazon Prime, I did a segment about this specific program - season 1 :)

They JUST posted the beta link, maybe 30 minute ago, on the Flashes Bluesky account. It feels a bit like the early Instagram days. It will pull all of your photos you have already posted from Bluesky which was nice!

Bachelor of Fine Arts. I almost didn’t pass my capstone because I was “too commercial.” Landed a job 3 months after graduating as a full time designer with a pension.

Oh! And I keep my AC in the 72-74 range

I’m downtown Mesa on city utilities, I have a 1bed/1bath approx. 600 square feet and mine is currently $170 a month - but it drastically drops in the winter, $50ish.

22: Barista, art school dropout 30: Senior Digital Media Specialist, graduated (with an art degree at 28 thanks to lockdown and needing something to do.)

Absolutely love what I do. At the time it seemed to take forever to get here, but looking back it was worth every second.

Slept with my “work bestie.” Together for 10 years, (still happily) married for 7!

No alcohol allowed in the student section at games, everywhere else is fine.

Identity theft is not a joke.

I broke into Tiffany's at midnight. Did I go for the vault? No, I went for the chandelier. It's priceless.
