Great support, easy UI, caring teachers (for the most part), financial aid assistance, nice gov discount even for gov employee spounces! I transferred from a Community College, and they were very helpful and accommodating. The online student profile, enrolling process, blackboard, etc are excellent and straight forward. The resources are fantastic including online library, free online textbooks, tech support. I had problems with virtual machine and database stuff and the instructor even reached out to the head department to help students. Also, I was overwhelmed by one of my first serious computer science classes and I was able to schedule an individual free online tutoring session to help me with a project. Not every instructor is excellent, but they are at least good and the whole system works to support students. They definitely don't feel like they are after your money ( I got refunded for previous years after providing proof that my circumstances changed). My husband takes classes at another online school and their UI sucks, it helped me appreciate how well done the UMUC's user interface is. Fantastic learning environment. I was able to graduate.
