Franklin University is a private university in downtown Columbus, Ohio, United States, North America. In addition to a main campus downtown, Franklin offers programs at three suburban campuses in Dublin, Ohio, Delaware, Ohio, and Westerville, Ohio. Franklin University also offers degree programs via their online classes.
In 1902, Franklin was founded by the YMCA as the School of Commerce.
As of 2008, Franklin offered 18 undergraduate majors and three Graduate Programs, and has nearly 10,000 students enrolled annually, including over 600 international students from over 80 different countries. Additionally, more than 230 community colleges across the U.S. have partnered with Franklin University to offer their graduates the last two years of their bachelor’s degrees online.
Franklin was chosen by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the first 15 colleges to participate in a pilot program allowing unlimited distance education, and the United States Army chose Franklin University as one of the original 29 institutions it selected to participate in the delivery of online education to eligible enlisted soldiers via GoArmyEd.

I am interested in earning a Computer science degree (info security and/or software engineering), but I am a construction worker, so I work all over the state/region, and work 10-12 hrs a day, so i really have not time to go to the actual school, so i need an online degree program that is also FULLY accredited/respectable. I have read too much about the degree mills, so I feel that i need to go through a college that has an actual campus.
Any suggestions/advice/links would be really helpful.

I go to school there myself and I think it is a good school. I transferred from a community college. I really enjoy taking the on-line classes. And if I ever want to I can go take a class or two at there downtown Columbus campus. FYI Franklin University started in 1902, it was started by the YMCA. Unlike a lot of schools offering on-line degrees they have been around a while.

I've gotten into several terrific schools, many better than Binghamton, but my problem has to do with money- or lack thereof. I wanted a smaller school, but didn't get into my "reach" schools and am now debating whether going to these schools (Barnard, Bates, Colgate, Holy Cross, Franklin and Marshall) would be worth it or if I should go to Binghamton. I visited Binghamton this weekend and found that there was lots about it that I loved... but for anyone with any knowledge of Binghamton, or any of these other schools, could you please give me some knowledge or shed light on my situation with your own experiences? What would you do in my shoes? Why? What are the pros and cons of Binghamton? (My main worries about Binghamton have to do with 1) Reputation 2) Too little diversity (too many people from long island?) 3) a really depressingly ugly campus/town 4) the weather
Thanks so much in advance to all who answer!!!!

Oh, this'll be fun.
1) Binghamton has a good reputation. We're called the Ivy League of Public schools. We're one of the top public schools in the nation. We're cheap too! I like cheap...
2) We're diverse! Although if you aren't Asian, Jewish, or from Long Island/NYC, you're a minority. Not that it matters. There are more than enough of everyone else. My roommate is from Rochester, and I'm a townie. Of course, my other four roommates and all but three of my friends are from the city...eh, what does it matter?
3) BINGHAMTON IS NOT UGLY!!!! It's just...boring. Why would you think it is? Bloody 'ell, we have parks all over the bloody place, There's a nature preserve behind campus that's bigger than the school is. I know of three large lakes within half an hour, and three well known waterfalls within an hour. Otsiningo Park is quite nice for instance, and that's ten minutes away. Do not call my hometown depressing and ugly, just bloody rude. Oh yeah, and it's the carousel capital of the world! Not that you care. The Twilight Zone was created in Endicott which is five minutes down the road...
4) Ok, yeah. The weather sucks. It rains alot, and it's cold. The heating works really well though...Binghamton is also the third cloudiest city in the country. The rooms get so hot though that my roommate and I have two fans...ON. Then again, that could just be ours. My suitemates don't even have fans...
Finally, I'll let you in on a the hidden sociey of the dorms, since they don't tell you in orientation. Dickinson - D & D, also farthest from classes, oldest. CIW - Druggies and Frat Boys. Period. Hinman - Nerds. We're smart little buggers, and we're told we're cocky. Mountainview - It's like a hospital up there, everything is so sterile, and no one talks to anyone else. Finally, Newing - Newing is isolated from the rest of campus, it's very far away. No one WANTS to live there, they're just forced to, and get out as quickly as possible.
Muahahahah. Any other questions?
