This week in our class we talked about what defines a gator student and when do people become a part of the gator nation. Some students said they became part when they received their acceptance letters, others said they became a part when they stepped on to the campus and some said the moment they were born they had been raised by their parents to be gator fans. Our teacher asked us whether interactive on-campus students were more apart of the gator nation than online students. Some believe being on the campus and interacting with other people at the school helps them get a better feel for the gator nation. While others believe even though they are online students they still become just as apart of the gator nation as any other student.
Online degrees can be tricky and deceiving which is why when pursing an online degree it is very important to be aware of the school's prestige. The University of Florida has a great online program that is well recognized. However, other web sites and online schools may be diploma mills, which are sites that send you a diploma in return for money. This would hurt your integrity and be a waste of money because you would not be really earning the degree.
This video shows how a dog received his college degree by his owner sending in a fake resume and paying $499.
It is really just up to you to caution yourself as to which school you choose when pursuing an online degree. In my major, Public Relations, having a diploma from a fake school without really earning a degree would greatly hurt your chances of succeeding in the business.
