I chose Olivet because it was a program that I could do around my family’s life schedule .... At night when my daughters do homework, I do my homework with them.

I chose to go to school at Olivet for several reasons. They are the only one that provided an online program, which made it possible for me to complete the program while being a primary caregiver to my kids. Finally, after asking around ... Olivet kept coming up [as a school] that would be ideal.
