Advice On Choosing An Online College?

I want to get an associates degree is Criminal Justice, in hopes of becoming a CSI.
I have 21 units completed at my local community college but now its all full due to budget cuts and theres no room for me there so I am considering an online university like university of phoenix, Kaplan, UEI, etc.
Does anyone know which is the best?? I would contact a counselor at the schools but i swear if you show them one drop of interest they will stalk you until you enroll or change your number!!!
Also I’m 19 and get no financial help from family…cant even get fafsa because i cant get my parents tax info…what should I do?!!?!?!?!?!?! I want an education..is that so hard to ask. I have even tried for scholarships but no luck.

    you should try your local state grants program there are all types of online grants ,and also state grants .This is free money for school look it up. Also try your local city career connections program.

    I would stick to a brick and mortar one. IE a state community college with online classes. That way you know you are getting a legit degree. Crown college,Kaplan college etc are worthless degrees.

    It is difficult to say what online college is the best just as it is difficult to say what campus based college is the best. There are simply too many factors that need to be considered. What is more inportant is finding the best college for you.
    My recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges that offer the degree program you are looking for to weigh the pro’s and con’s (tuition, schedule, career opportunities, etc.) so you have all the info before you decide anything.
    This site has some good information on regionally accredited online degree programs and colleges that offer them:http://www.ecollegefinder.org
    Good Luck!
