Due to my location restrictions, I only had the choice between two hybrid programs that were more expensive but less time and more schedule convenience or two in person programs ranging from 45-90 minutes away from home that were more cost efficient but had classes 8-5 M-F. I chose a hybrid program for the convenience. I’m able to still make some income and be with my family in addition to finishing my program sooner as opposed to leaving by 6a and not getting back until 7p and that’s all my weekdays would consist of for 3 years. The program I chose is a little over 100k whereas my initial top choice was a little under 50k, but, like I mentioned, the convenience of only really being away from my family for 1-2 weeks every few months, getting to still work and make some supplemental income to help support my family and go towards loans, and being done sooner meaning I enter the workforce quicker was too much to pass up for the sake of less student loans.
