Online Schools Pamper Students With Educational Amenities

You do not have to check into a luxury hotel to utilize the services of a personal concierge. According to DirectoryofSchools.com, this pampering perk is offered by some online schools. Dedicated to serving students, these schools proudly offer a plush ride through the application and registration process. And in addition to individualized personal guidance, they continue to provide support and resources throughout the entire educational journey.

Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) February 6, 2007 -- Though you may not find a mint on your pillow, today's online schools want to pamper their students. You do not have to check into a luxury hotel to be assigned your own personal concierge; they will provide one for you. And if the thought of dealing with transcripts or application details has you bogged down, no worries -- a personal guide will walk you through it all. Once you initiate contact with these online colleges, a student's educational concerns become theirs.

According to DirectoryofSchools.com, the leading mega-source for online degree information, these pampering perks have added to the rising success of online colleges and universities. Though already armed with an excellent educational foundation, including highly-qualified faculty and varied online degree programs, the best of these high-tech, web-based schools must compete with the long-term reputations and historical legacy of traditional schools. However, the Achilles heel of brick-and-mortar colleges has been their failure to provide a solid support system for employed adult learners, who have missed out on the fullness of services provided by the admissions office, registrar's office, career counselors, employment office, bookstore and library. These vital resources generally close for the day when most employed adults are just leaving the workplace.

In contrast, online schools have built a network of late-hour services to surround this neglected segment of the student population with a plethora of all they have missed. After hours phone support, online bookstores, privileged access to 24-hour online library systems, web-based employment assistance, e-mail and phone follow-up with professors, streaming video lectures, chat room discussions with fellow classmates, and much more await students who choose accredited, successful online schools.

And the extras are an effective draw. Statistics show that online education is outpacing the expectations of its staunchest critics with over 3.2 million students enjoying the advantages of online classes. But how do you find a reputable, supportive online degree program with these perks? A huge database of online school information is provided by DirectoryofSchools.com, which maintains a clearinghouse of over 8,000 online programs -- with descriptions, course offerings and contact information.

So, make the online school contact; and let your personal concierge be your guide.
