I didn't think I could get my degree, but once I got to IDEA-U I knew it was possible. Having people with the same drive as you, who motivate and push you will keep you on the right path.

When I stumbled upon IDEA-U, I didn't realize how easy it would be. Now actually being in the program with it's flexibility, being able to work at my own pace, the program made it easier for me. It's given me more opportunities to move up at my current job.

I am really happy that I chose to apply, and join IDEA-U San Antonio. I am currently in the bachelor program to "put the icing on the cake" as it were. I thank Dr. Reanna Aguilar and CCA Daniel Ibarra for all of their support, knowledge, and encouragement to keep pursuing my dreams even at the age of 51. My motto is "It's better late than never to do something you love."

The best part about IDEA-U was the support. In traditional college, you have to take the initiative to coordinate with advisers who have to deal with thousands of other students. At IDEA-U, you have weekly meetings with an advisor who knows you and your goals. This kind of attention is invaluable to reaching your goals in a timely manner.
