As I am in what will hopefully be my final semester at Western Governor's University, I am nearing the time to make a decision as to where I will attend grad school. I'm still not 100% sold on my major, but I feel like finding out the best online schools is a stepping stone. I would love to attend an on campus college, but any of you that are familiar with the military life know that it is a futile effort.
My husband and I are hoping to move to Germany with his next enlistment and it would be a waste of time for me to begin attending college on campus to have to transfer out into a different country. Has anyone else had the same experience with moving and having to complete your degree 100% online?
I have found that the resistance to online degrees has decreased significantly, but there is still a stigma that the course work is not as challenging in comparison to traditional education. In my experience with WGU, it is polar opposite! I have to read various chapters and pass pre-assessments before I can sit for a test. Once you are taking a test, you are proctored via webcam so unlike traditional schools that - mind you - still offer online courses, you can't just open up a book or search Google for answers. You actually have to know the material!!
So my question is, if I am looking in to completing a graduate degree in Psychology, what are the top accredited and affordable online university's that I should look into? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Lifestyle Changes
Hey y'all!
As I mentioned in my profile, I am a Pescetarian and have been for nearly a decade. Between an 11 year battle of Endometriosis and my personal taste/texture preferences, I gave up red meat as well as [cow] milk several years ago.
In addition to my dietary changes that implemented an increase of veggies and fish, I have also tried to find a passion for fitness. Most days I find that it is a struggle just to get my butt in the gym, and as I do my cardio routine I count down the minutes.. But I have definitely seen the change in my body as well as felt the change in my body. From increased energy, better moods, and a decrease in endometrial symptoms, I can say cardio and fun Pinterest recipes have been life savers!
Has anyone else tried to increase their cardio and implement dietary changes to control/decrease their Endometrial pain? I must say, after experiencing some pretty severe symptoms, having an Exploratory Laparoscopy including the burning off of Endometrial tissue, being medically induced into menopause at the ripe age of 21 via Depo Lupron in addition to a-back therapy, various birth controls, as well as ovarian cysts, I have to say Mirena is the only treatment that has helped a decrease in my symptoms. Thankfully, my physician was pro-Mirena, but it is always best to consult your physician on lifestyle changes and treatment options.
Are there any other lifestyle changes or medical treatments that have helped you with your Endometriosis?
