So happy I came across this video! My classes start August 28th, and now because of watching this, I am even more excited than before! I have applied for online classes MANY times before, but never really stuck with it. I would apply, then the school would reach out, and I would just blow it off. It never felt like the right timing. Also, I am so glad that you spoke about Sophia Learning, because I will DEFINITELY be utilizing that! And the craziest thing happened to me while watching this video! I had someone reach out to me via email about planning my courses so they can get me registered right away, and I KNEW it was a sign that this is the right school for me! Thank you for sharing!
I'm starting in August as well! Business major with concentration in marketing. I transferred in about 60 credits I did at a prior school and should be finished with bachelors degree in about a year and a half. Good luck to everyone starting soon!
I earned a bachelors in Psychology, and am finishing my masters in Psychology at SNHU in 2 weeks. SNHU is the best 👌 go Penmen 😁 all 100% online while working in human services full-time. I'm starting a 2nd masters in Criminal Justice at SNHU on September 18th '23 (Will have that masters in July '24), and got accepted to two Ph.D. programs. #SNHU2022-2023-2024 #Grind #Believe #BestAdvisors #Psychology ❤❤❤
Hi Nate! Congratulations 🎉 I love SNHU as well. 🤍 I am returning back from MBA and possibly going back for a second masters as well. SNHU student 👩🏽🎓 for life!
I started the Masters program for clinical mental health counseling in March 2022. Im a single mother of a 13 y.o. boy who plays a ton of sports and I work full time as a mental health case manager. It is a LOT of work. But I’ve had a great experience at SNHU so far and do recommend it! However people should know that it is not a university where you can just do the work at your own pace and I believe it is somewhat advertised as such. There are strict deadlines for assignments. Thursdays and Sundays and maybe an odd day here and there depending. It’s overall a great experience for me 🤓☺️
Hi Mariah! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🙌🏽✨💗Congratulations on your journey with SNHU and careers. It is a game changer with online school, but it is POSSIBLE!
Hey, I’m glad you saying this program. Because I just want to know what is your experience as an online SNHU experience so far. Becuase I’m considering doing online programs as clinical mental health counseling. Thank you for sharing your experience. 😊
👋🏽 I'm researching schools to start my ms in clinical psychology as well. Now that you have been a year in, how do you like it? I have a couple months left to have my bachelor's degree at Capella University. I'm not sure if I want to continue my masters here or not.
I’ve been taking classes at a community college and dropped out as well. I’ve been a student at SNHU since 2018. Taking breaks and coming back. I’ve been taking my sweet time with my degree But now I know what degree I want and I will be focused 100% SNHU is honestly the best. They are understanding and will help you anything you need. Will recommend
Hi! Girl, GO BACK! Yes, they are! I love SNHU! You should also take advantage of LinkedIn because SNHU makes it FREE to take limited courses on any subject to enhance your skills. Nowadays it's about SKILLS!! You need to get back on LinkedIn and create a profile and use it to market your skills. Also, take courses while you're at SNHU! Best of blessings to YOU!
Yes do it. I’ve earned 30 credits through sophia. Paid for about 2 months so $200 but i got 30 credits. I paid maybe $12 i think can’t remember to transfer all the credits to snhu. So i defitnely knocked off some money and probably a year or more of school. At one point i was taking 3 classes before i went down to 2 classes so the grind is real but worth it. Good luck
I'm listening to you, and I'm like omg that's me. I started with SNHU in 2021, working on my BS in community health education. So, I'm a first-gen Mexican American, and I never thought I'd have a chance to attend college. But I wanted to pursue my BS in community health education, so I searched high and low for a school that would fit my lifestyle. That's when I stumbled upon SNHU, and I was sold after seeing a commercial where this guy was crying tears of joy because he graduated. It was touching! So, I reached out to SNHU and I couldn't be happier. I'm set to graduate next year and am so grateful for this opportunity. (btw I'm 30 too)
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my video. I appreciate your support. I am excited for you! SNHU is convenient and when you manage your time effectively, you can succeed with their program. I am loving my experience at SNHU as an online student. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask me. I can make videos to assist if you need. Thank you. ❤
I started with them in October 2020 and I regret nothing. I am also 30 years old and a single mom the last time I was in college was in 2012. Oh I have enjoyed 95% of my professors. I graduate in December of this year with my business administration bachelors with the concentration in marketing. My favorite part about the school is the academic advisors they are so helpful and made me feel at peace on multiple occasions.
Yay! Congratulations 🎈🎉 on your graduation! That’s so exciting. Yes SNHU has been a blessing for me. It actually renewed my confidence in my abilities. I am happy for you.
Are we the same person? Lol thank you so much for making this video. I'm looking into starting SNHU and I completely relate to everything you said. I attended Job Corps in 16' and ended up in Security, which is not fulfilling at all. I've been trying to get into college for years, but been overwhelmed by the circumstances in my life which had prevented me from joining. This was truly inspirational and I will be checking out your other videos.

Woop! Woop! California! I'm from Southern California LA. and moved to Oklahoma I recently enrolled at SNHU. I'm so glad I clicked on your video. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and that success doesn't happen overnight. It takes hard work, dedication, resilience, and the right mindset. Your video was not only enlightening but also incredibly motivating, it opened my eyes to the possibilities that are out there. It reminded me that no matter what challenges I may face, I have the power to overcome them and achieve my dreams.
I'm delighted to hear that my video had a positive impact on you... This is what it is all about: sharing experiences with others because we all have goals we are striving to achieve. May your adventure at SNHU be as rewarding as mine was, and thanks again for watching!
omggg we have the same story! marketing major.. dropped out twice commute to campus was wild. hated it. i’m now 26 years old and i wish i could have done this sooner! you got a follow from me
Yay! I am so happy for you! SNHU is wonderful! Facebook is also an excellent resource because there are millions of online students supporting each other. I am here if you have any questions about the online learning experience. Thank you for commenting. ❤ I appreciate your support.
I was 30 when I chose to return to school and I went with SNHU as well! I LOVE this school and I am loving the learning process! This video was so relatable! I had no idea we could get an id until watching this & I went ahead and requested mine ! Thanks for this❤
Thank you for sharing this video. You're a beautiful woman. I started SNHU back in November of 2019 and will be graduating in April 2024 with a degree in Graphic Design. It has been an up and down rollercoaster for me, but i pushed through. I'm 27 now, will be 28 in August. I just wanted to say that this school has been a blessing for me in many ways and I'm so happy for you! Keep pushing!
Thank you for this. Just applied to start grad school in January. My desire of getting my Masters was getting bad lol. I’m gonna start off doing 1 class at a time. I’m excited and I can’t wait to have a taste of being a grad student. I will be working towards my MHA - Master of Science in Healthcare Administration at Southern New Hampshire University online. I was already in the program prior to starting my vocational nursing program, but of course I had to put it on hold to pursue my nursing diploma. So basically, I’m just picking up where I left off, getting re-evaluated and awaiting on next steps. ❤
You're a beautiful black woman and very intelligent I'm so glad you're doing what's best for you and putting yourself first! I start October 24th, I already have my associates degree from LaGuardia community college in English (Writing and Literature)... I am also a first generation college student struggling with my mental illnesses and you gave me the extra courage to keep going, the inspiration 😍😍😍😍😍 thanks Queen 👑 keep growing and glowing and may God continue to bless you and open 👐 all the doors for your success 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Aww 🥰 ❤ thank you so much! I appreciate that! I struggled with mental health as well in the past because of toxic and dysfunctional family members. Get away from them, they will block your blessings! The moment you focus on YOU 💕 YOU ✨ will SUCCEED! You got this! I wish you the best of luck on your academic journey as well and congratulations 🎉🎈 this is a wonderful school. I encourage you to take advantage of the Facebook groups and community online! Pace yourself like the lady down below ⬇️ commented, you can do this! It’s a lot of support and encouragement from other online students. 💕💗
I'm starting my Master's in Marketing July 29! I have a Bachelor's in Education and have been teaching since then but I decided I want to do social media marketing, so here I am. I am so excited!!
I had the same background! I went to community college for a couple of years but took my classes on and off because I wasn’t that serious about it and the classes I was taking were pretty difficult, biology and chemistry classes. I stopped taking classes at my community college last semester and I was just looking around online when SNHU popped up. I saw the only degree they had in healthcare that I could get online is a BA in Healthcare Administration. Super happy with my decision! Happy for you as well 😊
I am excited! Thank you so much for sharing this! Also, Sophia Learning? Thank you so much for sharing as well! I am older than you, and I'm on a time crutch! LOL
I was looking for a college online, because i don't have too much time because i am in the Us Airforce active duty, so the only way i can go to college is online, and now i think i found the best college online to get my bachelor!! Thanks for the information!! God bless you and the best of luck in your new goals!!! 🎉
thank you for this video i start classes on january 8th i tried to go to schoolback in 2015 but i got into the wrong crowd and at the time alcohol became the most important thing in my life now i have a 5 year old son and im a single mom and i really want to better myself for him and this was very informative i really appreciate it
Hi good afternoon, I am currently SNHU online student, I am in my final weeks of my undergrad B.S. degree. I am a bit nervous, graduating.. thinking of going to get a Master's degree.. but leaning towards getting a graduate certificate at the moment. Currently work full-time :8-12 hrs a days, 5 days a week. So it's been a challenge balancing everything. Sophia has been a lifesaver for electives and other credits. Nothing but good things but SNHU, I would give the university an A-. Now the Bright space App, I would give it a D, it needs to be revamped. However I am glad that you're doing well in school, keep up the good work 👏🏾. I have a good advisor as well.
Hi! That is awesome and congratulations on completing your undergraduate degree that’s a major accomplishment!! If I were you I would continue my education just to get it out of the way. Why stop when you picked up that kind of momentum. I love BrightSpace because it is all I know at the moment. Take care💕
@@MsEssance yes I am thinking about it but the cost factor and time are my biggest worries. I will have to do extreme deep thinking about it. As well I might want to wait until I be able to established into a new career. With my current job I might not be able to afford it, because I have loans.. and will to pay for these credits out of pocket.
Angell3287 Sorry for my question but how long it takes you to finish your undergraduate program ( you were a full-time student? or part-time? I'm looking forward to enrolling in SNHU that's why my question. Thank you in advance
@@ivygonzalez6270 Hi Ivy it varies. I did this in less than 18 months. It all depends on a lot of different factors, like I had credits already. It also depends on how much one person can balance the course load. I started off with 2 then I went to three up to May/ Jun. Now I am at doing two courses since the summer.
Hey im in Texas and set to start my BA in Human Resource Management Aug28th2023. Im a single mother & work full time as well and im nervous to start 🤧 I hate that I can’t get a physical copy of books mailed to me, im fine doing my assignments online but I love Reading Paper Books. Too much eye straining reading online. I can say I hate the everyday check in from admission. Like there’s nothing to check in about, I’m enrolled and ready to go.
Hey! I actually changed my major to HR as well, and I must say I love it! I will tell you not to worry about physical book because the reading material could be read to you using an audio book reader on (extension) google chrome. You will be fine, be patient with yourself and do not worry! I promise you will be fine. SNHU is one of the best decisions, I have made in my education journey. Best of blessings!
Im going to to start my Bachelor's in Accounting in May. I have an Associates in Arts from a community college. I have 18 credits from Sophia Learning. I can't wait to start my program.
@@YolosLifeLove It is basically ACE credits that you can transfer to certain colleges like WGU, SNHU and Liberty University. They are short courses you can get done in a couple of days.
I hear yeah. I was thinking about going to SNHU, working as a CO, security guard for TDCJ in Texas as well. I'm going stay there and try to go to school on my days off if it works out.
You should definitely look into the school and go on TikTok and search SNHU students. You can learn a lot from people on TikTok about SNHU or Facebook groups about SNHU it’s an awesome school online. 💕
Thank you for taking the time to do this and explain your experience. I've recently signed up to get started and have been nervous about the whole situation of school and working full time. But it's really needed for me to continue to progress to the next chapter of my career. It was enjoyable listening to another student's experience, good luck in the future! Also, you informed me about the Sophia Learning and I'm looking at the website at this very moment! Thanks again!
Your SNHU vids are part of what got me to attend! We're around the same age and I've been chipping away at college classes for years while working in diff fields that dont require a 4-year degree. But I finally decided that I want my BA. I was astounded that they accepted all my prior credits (some from a diff 4-year uni, most from community college) and plugged all the stuff for a totally diff major in as electives. I just concluded my 1st term -- did 2 classes and got a 4.0
Thank you!!! I actually started looking into SNHU in 2019… I’m about to try to start back reaching back out! I wish I had done this in 2019!! I let this job keep me from what I REALLY need to do!!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience girly. I am about to start and im excited and scared but in a good way if that makes sense. Just like you was going to a community college in California however i couldn't stick with it but i am happy that i came across this video i will be an online student and my degree is BS - Business Administration concentration on Health Care im so excited. Thank you girl and i like all your SNHU gear haha i love it. Love your energy! We family now much love. Congratulation on all your accomplishments.
Girl, I appreciate your comment. YES! It is nerve wrecking at first but you will get use to it eventually. It is worth it, trust me! I was where you were and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just continue to push forward and you will realize it was all in your head. LOL! SERIOUSLY! Best of blessings on your journey girl!
thinking about transferring from my expensive art college to their online college programs after seeing how tuition isn’t pricy and how they offer quality education. But idk, it’s hard doing more research of them when there’s barely any 😭
Check Reddit for review on SNHU and Facebook has many SNHU groups where students share their experiences. Overall SNHU is a great college and I am fortunate to have found this opportunity. I wish you the best! 😊
My classes start September 2nd for an associate degree for accounting! I feel like I'm on the same boat as you, I'm 27 and been to community colleges and dropped out! My experience so far is great and haven't even started yet!
I'm 30 as well haven't been in school almost 5 years since my associate. I'm like I need this BA in computer, and I need to get this stuff together. I appreciate this video so much because life deftly because life just tried to take me out of here literally before I started my online classes, and I was going to just drop it, but I said no I been waiting and wanting to go back to school so. You can't find to many jobs that you want with just a resume. This is very helpful and encouraging. Thank you!!
GIRLLLL I AM DOING IT!! Thank You for sharing I have considered SNHU for like 10 years and I didn’t now that I know about Sophia and CLEP I am on my way and starting SNHU once I have maxed out those alt credits!! I went in person in 2013 to have an orientation and live sit but I wasn’t ready. And you video has confirmed for me that this is the right direction!
I love youuuuuuuu!!!! And I’m in TX too so I just joined the FB group you created! Your story is so similar to mine when it comes to school but I’m 33 and a mom of 5 (with 4 under 4😩) but I’m READY and DETERMINED to get my BA Communications degree that I started 14 years ago (my husband is in my same program also so it helps a lot) ….you inspire me ***And yea I binged all your vids 🤣🤣🤣 and I also take Sophia classes currently
Thanks for this video. I'm a Cyber Security major, and I started at SNHU in September. I'm new to higher learning and haven't been in school in many years, lol. I love what I am seeing and what the experience has been so far, given how busy I am and how convenient they make it. Great video. And how do I get my water bottle and other stuff? lol
Im 30 too, this is my second semester at SNHU majoring in business with a concentration in healthcare management. I absolutely love the experience as well.
So glad to have found your channel, Essance. This is my second of your videos to watch, first was the binder episode. I bookmarked the links from that one. Thank you for doing this. Have a blessed day.
I was just accepted into SNHU for my Bachelors in Business Admin with a concentration in Organizational Leadership. Set to graduate with my associates in December 🙌🏽. I am 31 and just ready to be done lol
I love it so far, I'm an online student as well. I'll be ending my first term with SNHU soon! I'm an undergrad majoring in Game programming & Dev. Have you heard of their homecoming coming up soon? It's on campus, I'm thinking of going but I'm just a bit hesitant.
I’m in a community college right now and I was interested but I am only 20 years old so I feel as though I should finish my associates degree first 🤷🏻♀️
You can actually jumpstart and apply for the bachelors program which would actually be a lot more of a smoother transition because online school is a lot more convenient and it’s a lot quicker plus the classes are eight weeks so they’re a lot shorter than community college classes and you’ll be done with your degree fast.
I’m currently working on my Associate Degree in nursing at my community college. I will transfer to SNHU afterwards to work on my Bachelor degree in nursing. I will only need 13 classes. Then I will do my master degree at SNHU as well. I’m so excited. Oh and I also have Sophia credits that I will use
Thanks for sharing! I can relate to a lot of this. I have been doing on-and-off community college while working in marketing/graphic design for almost 20 years. It’s possible to get that type of work without a degree, but not always easy, and I wondered if not having a degree has been holding me back from at least some opportunities. Last year I discovered an online-only program from a local community college and it worked so much better for me than trying to go in person, so I really picked up the pace and only need one more class for an AA in General Studies, which is mostly intended for transfer. They only had a few online-only major choices at the community college, none of them design related, but I’ve been accepted to SNHU and can transfer my general ed credits and major in Graphic Design there. Looking forward to it!
Congratulations 🎉 for being accepted at SNHU. I understand how it can be loosing the enthusiasm for college when life happens but fortunately you found SNHU. Best of luck on your journey!
Thank Essance I really enjoy your videos, this is the second one I’ve watched the us far and i had to subscribe! I can relate to so much of what you shared ! I would start/stop school so many times and I just decided I am tired and am getting out of my own way and will be starting class in May 2022 and I’m so excited/nervous but definitely ready ! You have been so helpful and supportive and kind thank you !!! Soooo very much appreciate you !!!! Blessings
I am glad I can be supportive and helpful in sharing my experience with you. I wish you the best with SNHU and know that you won’t regret it! It’s a transition, but with the support of academic advisors, online tutoring and peers from Facebook groups I don’t see why you can’t succeed.
thanks for this video! I am starting next week to get my bachelors in forensic accounting ( furthering my current career!) but I've been nervous about it because I'm almost 50!
I am so happy i saw this video ❤ i just applied last week. Im a mom of 2 and work full time. Im trying to figure out if I should start in January or the summer
Hey Ms Essence I’m really thinking about going to snhu because I’ve heard a lot about the school I’m still being skeptical about it but I idk for sure. And congratulations on getting your degree keep moving forward in life, My question is that let’s say you have a 2 or 3 yr program what ever major you are going for can finish it before those years are up or no.
Hey! I am sorry to get to your comment late. You can call SNHU and ask to speak with an advisor about this question. I do not want to give you the wrong information.
Hi. Thanks for all of the information that you provided within this video. I have a question pertaining to the Sophia Learning....do you do the Sophia Learning and your online classes at SNHU at the same time?
Im currently in the process of trying to get enrolled and im wondering from your experience so far do you think its manageable to take 2 courses with a full time job?
I am taking my undergraduate program through SNHU. I am not sure about the masters program however I advise that she speak to a career advisor or academic advisor about that.
No. I still have my bachelor's to finish, but I will be able to start working on my master's degree at the end of my bachelor’s (within the last 4 classes).
Hi Guys, iam from India and got scholarship from SNHU for MS online program in psychology. I am little nervous to opt this university to pursue and it’s acceptance. I am a HR professional and having 12 yrs of work experience. Can someone plz calm me down and give me honest advise ?
Hi Jessica! We do not have sororities at our campus, however, we do have honor societies. Once you've started your first 6 classes online, you may inquire with your adviser for further information about the honor societies. In the meantime, here is the link for more information: www.snhu.edu/student-experience/campus-experience/student-organizations-and-leadership/student-organizations-and-clubs.
So happy I came across this video! My classes start August 28th, and now because of watching this, I am even more excited than before!

Yay I love this video I will be starting my BA in psychology with a concentration in mental health in January 2023 I’m excited now
Woop! Woop! California! I'm from Southern California LA. and moved to Oklahoma I recently enrolled at SNHU. I'm so glad I clicked on your video. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and that success doesn't happen overnight. It takes hard work, dedication, resilience, and the right mindset. Your video was not only enlightening but also incredibly motivating,
it opened my eyes to the possibilities that are out there. It reminded me that no matter what challenges I may face, I have the power to overcome them and achieve my dreams.
I'm delighted to hear that my video had a positive impact on you... This is what it is all about: sharing experiences with others because we all have goals we are striving to achieve. May your adventure at SNHU be as rewarding as mine was, and thanks again for watching!
omggg we have the same story! marketing major.. dropped out twice commute to campus was wild. hated it. i’m now 26 years old and i wish i could have done this sooner! you got a follow from me
I’m happy to hear this. I’m not really on social media but I joined SNHU discord and I just got fully enrolled and the staff seems so positive.
Yay! I am so happy for you! SNHU is wonderful! Facebook is also an excellent resource because there are millions of online students supporting each other. I am here if you have any questions about the online learning experience. Thank you for commenting. ❤ I appreciate your support.
I was 30 when I chose to return to school and I went with SNHU as well! I LOVE this school and I am loving the learning process! This video was so relatable! I had no idea we could get an id until watching this & I went ahead and requested mine ! Thanks for this❤
Thank you for sharing this video. You're a beautiful woman. I started SNHU back in November of 2019 and will be graduating in April 2024 with a degree in Graphic Design. It has been an up and down rollercoaster for me, but i pushed through. I'm 27 now, will be 28 in August. I just wanted to say that this school has been a blessing for me in many ways and I'm so happy for you! Keep pushing!
Thank you so much! I will be graduating in April of 2024 as well! I hope to see you there!
@@MsEssance Me too!!!!!!! I'd love to meet you!
Thank you for this. Just applied to start grad school in January. My desire of getting my Masters was getting bad lol. I’m gonna start off doing 1 class at a time. I’m excited and I can’t wait to have a taste of being a grad student. I will be working towards my MHA - Master of Science in Healthcare Administration at Southern New Hampshire University online. I was already in the program prior to starting my vocational nursing program, but of course I had to put it on hold to pursue my nursing diploma. So basically, I’m just picking up where I left off, getting re-evaluated and awaiting on next steps. ❤
You're a beautiful black woman and very intelligent I'm so glad you're doing what's best for you and putting yourself first! I start October 24th, I already have my associates degree from LaGuardia community college in English (Writing and Literature)... I am also a first generation college student struggling with my mental illnesses and you gave me the extra courage to keep going, the inspiration 😍😍😍😍😍 thanks Queen 👑 keep growing and glowing and may God continue to bless you and open 👐 all the doors for your success 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good luck to you! Make sure you pace and remember that your mental health is so important! Take breaks and breath. You got this too!!!!🎉🎉
@@Cheekynjva thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Aww 🥰 ❤ thank you so much! I appreciate that! I struggled with mental health as well in the past because of toxic and dysfunctional family members. Get away from them, they will block your blessings! The moment you focus on YOU 💕 YOU ✨ will SUCCEED! You got this! I wish you the best of luck on your academic journey as well and congratulations 🎉🎈 this is a wonderful school. I encourage you to take advantage of the Facebook groups and community online! Pace yourself like the lady down below ⬇️ commented, you can do this! It’s a lot of support and encouragement from other online students. 💕💗
@@MsEssance Thank you Queen 👑
haha
I'm starting my Master's in Marketing July 29! I have a Bachelor's in Education and have been teaching since then but I decided I want to do social media marketing, so here I am. I am so excited!!
I had the same background! I went to community college for a couple of years but took my classes on and off because I wasn’t that serious about it and the classes I was taking were pretty difficult, biology and chemistry classes. I stopped taking classes at my community college last semester and I was just looking around online when SNHU popped up. I saw the only degree they had in healthcare that I could get online is a BA in Healthcare Administration. Super happy with my decision! Happy for you as well 😊
I don’t even know you and I’m proud of you! Keep up the great work, sis!!! And thank you for this video
Thank you so much!!💕
Definitely a Wonderful Video Iam currently working on a Masters in CRIMINAL JUSTICE at SNHU!!! Thanks for the video
No worries 😉 I appreciate you watching. Thank you and congratulations 🎉✨ on pursuing your degree, I wish you the best! 💕
I am excited! Thank you so much for sharing this! Also, Sophia Learning? Thank you so much for sharing as well! I am older than you, and I'm on a time crutch! LOL
I was looking for a college online, because i don't have too much time because i am in the Us Airforce active duty, so the only way i can go to college is online, and now i think i found the best college online to get my bachelor!! Thanks for the information!! God bless you and the best of luck in your new goals!!! 🎉
You will be happy with SNHU! This college is amazing and very doable!!
thank you for this video i start classes on january 8th i tried to go to schoolback in 2015 but i got into the wrong crowd and at the time alcohol became the most important thing in my life now i have a 5 year old son and im a single mom and i really want to better myself for him and this was very informative i really appreciate it
Hi good afternoon, I am currently SNHU online student, I am in my final weeks of my undergrad B.S. degree. I am a bit nervous, graduating.. thinking of going to get a Master's degree.. but leaning towards getting a graduate certificate at the moment. Currently work full-time :8-12 hrs a days, 5 days a week. So it's been a challenge balancing everything. Sophia has been a lifesaver for electives and other credits.
Nothing but good things but SNHU, I would give the university an A-. Now the Bright space App, I would give it a D, it needs to be revamped. However I am glad that you're doing well in school, keep up the good work 👏🏾. I have a good advisor as well.
Hi! That is awesome and congratulations on completing your undergraduate degree that’s a major accomplishment!! If I were you I would continue my education just to get it out of the way. Why stop when you picked up that kind of momentum. I love BrightSpace because it is all I know at the moment. Take care💕
@@MsEssance yes I am thinking about it but the cost factor and time are my biggest worries. I will have to do extreme deep thinking about it. As well I might want to wait until I be able to established into a new career. With my current job I might not be able to afford it, because I have loans.. and will to pay for these credits out of pocket.
Angell3287 Sorry for my question but how long it takes you to finish your undergraduate program ( you were a full-time student? or part-time? I'm looking forward to enrolling in SNHU that's why my question. Thank you in advance
@@ivygonzalez6270 Hi Ivy it varies. I did this in less than 18 months. It all depends on a lot of different factors, like I had credits already. It also depends on how much one person can balance the course load. I started off with 2 then I went to three up to May/ Jun. Now I am at doing two courses since the summer.
For online two classes is considered full time.
Hey im in Texas and set to start my BA in Human Resource Management Aug28th2023. Im a single mother & work full time as well and im nervous to start 🤧 I hate that I can’t get a physical copy of books mailed to me, im fine doing my assignments online but I love Reading Paper Books. Too much eye straining reading online. I can say I hate the everyday check in from admission. Like there’s nothing to check in about, I’m enrolled and ready to go.
Hey! I actually changed my major to HR as well, and I must say I love it! I will tell you not to worry about physical book because the reading material could be read to you using an audio book reader on (extension) google chrome. You will be fine, be patient with yourself and do not worry! I promise you will be fine. SNHU is one of the best decisions, I have made in my education journey. Best of blessings!
I love SNHU it’s been a blessing it works with my work schedule I was thinking about trying Sophia but Im good where I’m at
Im going to to start my Bachelor's in Accounting in May. I have an Associates in Arts from a community college. I have 18 credits from Sophia Learning. I can't wait to start my program.
Tell me more about Sophia Learning
@@YolosLifeLove It is basically ACE credits that you can transfer to certain colleges like WGU, SNHU and Liberty University. They are short courses you can get done in a couple of days.
Yess i love my school too ❤thanks for the infepth video
Thanks for making this video! Debating on what online school I should go to. This is an option
I hear yeah. I was thinking about going to SNHU, working as a CO, security guard for TDCJ in Texas as well. I'm going stay there and try to go to school on my days off if it works out.
You should definitely look into the school and go on TikTok and search SNHU students. You can learn a lot from people on TikTok about SNHU or Facebook groups about SNHU it’s an awesome school online. 💕
Thank you for taking the time to do this and explain your experience. I've recently signed up to get started and have been nervous about the whole situation of school and working full time. But it's really needed for me to continue to progress to the next chapter of my career. It was enjoyable listening to another student's experience, good luck in the future! Also, you informed me about the Sophia Learning and I'm looking at the website at this very moment! Thanks again!
Your SNHU vids are part of what got me to attend! We're around the same age and I've been chipping away at college classes for years while working in diff fields that dont require a 4-year degree. But I finally decided that I want my BA. I was astounded that they accepted all my prior credits (some from a diff 4-year uni, most from community college) and plugged all the stuff for a totally diff major in as electives. I just concluded my 1st term -- did 2 classes and got a 4.0
Congrats 🎉 I am happy for you!
Omg im 45 years old and can totally relate to everything you have spoke on!!!!!! Thank you so much for your information!!!!😮❤
You are so welcome!
You are motivating me to try this SNHU😊.
You totally should it is really an interesting experience that will bring you a lot of confidence
You should I’m there and I work 40 plus hours a week it’s possible as long as it’s a priority
Thank you!!! I actually started looking into SNHU in 2019… I’m about to try to start back reaching back out! I wish I had done this in 2019!! I let this job keep me from what I REALLY need to do!!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience girly. I am about to start and im excited and scared but in a good way if that makes sense. Just like you was going to a community college in California however i couldn't stick with it but i am happy that i came across this video i will be an online student and my degree is BS - Business Administration concentration on Health Care im so excited. Thank you girl and i like all your SNHU gear haha i love it. Love your energy! We family now much love. Congratulation on all your accomplishments.
Girl, I appreciate your comment. YES! It is nerve wrecking at first but you will get use to it eventually. It is worth it, trust me! I was where you were and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just continue to push forward and you will realize it was all in your head. LOL! SERIOUSLY! Best of blessings on your journey girl!
thinking about transferring from my expensive art college to their online college programs after seeing how tuition isn’t pricy and how they offer quality education. But idk, it’s hard doing more research of them when there’s barely any 😭
Check Reddit for review on SNHU and Facebook has many SNHU groups where students share their experiences. Overall SNHU is a great college and I am fortunate to have found this opportunity. I wish you the best! 😊
We’re on this journey together, I started in January 2022,I’m a History major. I’ll be praying for you sister.
Good luck. I started in February 2022.
Glad I came to UA-cam! I have been looking into their online marketing program :)
My classes start September 2nd for an associate degree for accounting! I feel like I'm on the same boat as you, I'm 27 and been to community colleges and dropped out! My experience so far is great and haven't even started yet!
Great Job Ms Essence🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🤗
I'm 30 as well haven't been in school almost 5 years since my associate. I'm like I need this BA in computer, and I need to get this stuff together. I appreciate this video so much because life deftly because life just tried to take me out of here literally before I started my online classes, and I was going to just drop it, but I said no I been waiting and wanting to go back to school so. You can't find to many jobs that you want with just a resume. This is very helpful and encouraging. Thank you!!
I'm so glad my video was able to help you! You are the change you wish to see. It begins with you. You can do it!
GIRLLLL I AM DOING IT!! Thank You for sharing I have considered SNHU for like 10 years and I didn’t now that I know about Sophia and CLEP I am on my way and starting SNHU once I have maxed out those alt credits!! I went in person in 2013 to have an orientation and live sit but I wasn’t ready. And you video has confirmed for me that this is the right direction!
You are so welcome! I am glad I could help.
I love youuuuuuuu!!!! And I’m in TX too so I just joined the FB group you created! Your story is so similar to mine when it comes to school but I’m 33 and a mom of 5 (with 4 under 4😩) but I’m READY and DETERMINED to get my BA Communications degree that I started 14 years ago (my husband is in my same program also so it helps a lot) ….you inspire me
***And yea I binged all your vids 🤣🤣🤣 and I also take Sophia classes currently
Yay! Thank you! I am happy to hear you're enjoying my content.
Thanks for this video. I'm a Cyber Security major, and I started at SNHU in September. I'm new to higher learning and haven't been in school in many years, lol. I love what I am seeing and what the experience has been so far, given how busy I am and how convenient they make it. Great video. And how do I get my water bottle and other stuff? lol
Wow!!!! Thank you so much for all of this valuable information! ❤ I. Am. Ready!
Im 30 too, this is my second semester at SNHU majoring in business with a concentration in healthcare management. I absolutely love the experience as well.
I’m glad you made this video because I start my MPH in July and I’m trying to binge everything I can ❤ you go sis!
Thanks for sharing. I am old enough to be your mom and I just started today. lol Great insights and information!
Same here! Good luck to you.😊
So glad to have found your channel, Essance. This is my second of your videos to watch, first was the binder episode. I bookmarked the links from that one. Thank you for doing this. Have a blessed day.
I was just accepted into SNHU for my Bachelors in Business Admin with a concentration in Organizational Leadership. Set to graduate with my associates in December 🙌🏽. I am 31 and just ready to be done lol
Im thinking about this degree. How did it go?
I love it so far, I'm an online student as well. I'll be ending my first term with SNHU soon! I'm an undergrad majoring in Game programming & Dev. Have you heard of their homecoming coming up soon? It's on campus, I'm thinking of going but I'm just a bit hesitant.
That’s awesome I am an online student in the state of Texas so unfortunately I have not been a part of any on campus activities
Their will be virtual things to participate in as well which makes things so convenient just in case you needed that information.
Thank you for this video!! I am in the admissions process now and I will definitely be looking into Sophia Learning!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent content and explanation of SNHU. New subscriber. ❤🎉❤
Very informative. I am looking to attend and found that this video provided me with valuable information. Thank you.
Hi
I'm in marketing as well. I'm in snhu 101 week 6 module. I'll keep in touch...nice vid
Hi 👋 Isaiah! That’s awesome 👏🏽 thanks for commenting. How many terms have you taken?
This is my first term. The advice about Sofia was great, I immediately signed up. What were some credits you got from Sofia?
I’m in a community college right now and I was interested but I am only 20 years old so I feel as though I should finish my associates degree first 🤷🏻♀️
You can actually jumpstart and apply for the bachelors program which would actually be a lot more of a smoother transition because online school is a lot more convenient and it’s a lot quicker plus the classes are eight weeks so they’re a lot shorter than community college classes and you’ll be done with your degree fast.
I’m currently working on my Associate Degree in nursing at my community college. I will transfer to SNHU afterwards to work on my Bachelor degree in nursing. I will only need 13 classes. Then I will do my master degree at SNHU as well. I’m so excited. Oh and I also have Sophia credits that I will use
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching! ☺️
Thanks for sharing! I can relate to a lot of this. I have been doing on-and-off community college while working in marketing/graphic design for almost 20 years. It’s possible to get that type of work without a degree, but not always easy, and I wondered if not having a degree has been holding me back from at least some opportunities. Last year I discovered an online-only program from a local community college and it worked so much better for me than trying to go in person, so I really picked up the pace and only need one more class for an AA in General Studies, which is mostly intended for transfer. They only had a few online-only major choices at the community college, none of them design related, but I’ve been accepted to SNHU and can transfer my general ed credits and major in Graphic Design there. Looking forward to it!
Congratulations 🎉 for being accepted at SNHU. I understand how it can be loosing the enthusiasm for college when life happens but fortunately you found SNHU. Best of luck on your journey!
Thank you so much for this!! Can you do a video on Sophia??
Great suggestion!
I look forward to it!! 🙂 love your channel! Super informative and relatable.
Thank Essance I really enjoy your videos, this is the second one I’ve watched the us far and i had to subscribe! I can relate to so much of what you shared ! I would start/stop school so many times and I just decided I am tired and am getting out of my own way and will be starting class in
May 2022 and I’m so excited/nervous but definitely ready ! You have been so helpful and supportive and kind thank you !!! Soooo very much appreciate you !!!! Blessings
I am glad I can be supportive and helpful in sharing my experience with you. I wish you the best with SNHU and know that you won’t regret it! It’s a transition, but with the support of academic advisors, online tutoring and peers from Facebook groups I don’t see why you can’t succeed.
thanks for this video! I am starting next week to get my bachelors in forensic accounting ( furthering my current career!) but I've been nervous about it because I'm almost 50!
You can do it! I have met women in their 60's getting degrees!
Great video! Appreciate you ❤
You are so welcome!
About to start my first semester 8/28/23 thanks for your videos can’t wait to watch
You can do it!🎉 Congrats!
I am so happy i saw this video ❤ i just applied last week. Im a mom of 2 and work full time. Im trying to figure out if I should start in January or the summer
Thank you so much for this video!
More helpful information that I can surely use
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Hey Ms Essence I’m really thinking about going to snhu because I’ve heard a lot about the school I’m still being skeptical about it but I idk for sure. And congratulations on getting your degree keep moving forward in life, My question is that let’s say you have a 2 or 3 yr program what ever major you are going for can finish it before those years are up or no.
Can you explain the fast tracking process with the masters
Hey! I am sorry to get to your comment late. You can call SNHU and ask to speak with an advisor about this question. I do not want to give you the wrong information.
Thanks for the video 😊
You are very welcome! 😊
Thank you for the video is really helpful
Thanks so much I’m looking to enrolling soon. Are the tests proctored?
Hello I am from Honduras and I study Bachelor Degree in Marketing and specializes in Digital Marketing
Also went to job corps and now looking to get my degree or start a career
I’m thinking of testing out also after completing my associates degree.
Are you familiar with Sophia learning? You can complete most of your general education and work towards your bachelors.
@MsEssance how are you doing tonight? How did SNHU allow you to take the online test?
Hi. Thanks for all of the information that you provided within this video. I have a question pertaining to the Sophia Learning....do you do the Sophia Learning and your online classes at SNHU at the same time?
I actually did Sophia classes first, and I transferred those classes into my program and then started my SNHU courses
@@MsEssance thank you
Love U ❤
This video helped a lot
I am glad I could assist you in your academic journey! 😊
Im currently in the process of trying to get enrolled and im wondering from your experience so far do you think its manageable to take 2 courses with a full time job?
Yes I know that it is manageable. I am working a full time job and I put aside time for homework and prioritize my
time.
Hello! Marketing major here at SNHU as well!
That's awesome!
Great video…
I’m interested in a master program. Would the school allow me to take three classes per 10 week terms ?
I am taking my undergraduate program through SNHU. I am not sure about the masters program however I advise that she speak to a career advisor or academic advisor about that.
Do SNHU do proctor test
Thank you for the video. Are there exams at SNHU and if so, how do they work? Thank you!
Hello Iam going for my bachelor of science business administration of marketing ❤🎉😊😊
i start march 4th in cant wait too start thank u for inspire video
The School that Im attending partners with SNHU.
hi quick question do they mail you those things on their part or did you buy it? i’m curious because i start SNHU next year ☺️
I wish! I bought them.
@@MsEssance is there a link to their store? if so can you share it please! 🙏🏽
Question for you. So you were able to do your bachelors and masters at the same time? How does that work?
No. I still have my bachelor's to finish, but I will be able to start working on my master's degree at the end of my bachelor’s (within the last 4 classes).
Hi Guys, iam from India and got scholarship from SNHU for MS online program in psychology. I am little nervous to opt this university to pursue and it’s acceptance. I am a HR professional and having 12 yrs of work experience. Can someone plz calm me down and give me honest advise ?
Well what is it you want advice about?
Hello! I’m wondering if people can apply for free with no SAT/ACT scores?
Yes you can
@@reshalewis4826 thank you for responding. ❤ I didn’t realize that I had comments.
Hey I was wondering how much does it cost to get a degree on SNHU? I really want to do one.
Great question! Reach out to SNHU! An advisor can answer your questions!
I want to know about their payment plans after paying for a term
Hey Jean! You can call the financial aid department at SNHU and they can break that down for you.
How do u join a sorority for SNHU?
Hi Jessica! We do not have sororities at our campus, however, we do have honor societies. Once you've started your first 6 classes online, you may inquire with your adviser for further information about the honor societies. In the meantime, here is the link for more information: www.snhu.edu/student-experience/campus-experience/student-organizations-and-leadership/student-organizations-and-clubs.
