I knew a guy and his wife who were both enrolled at the same time, and yes, as said above, you'd better be organized. They'd get home, eat, and hit the computers/books. Every night. Weekends were spent on papers. They both seemed okay with the education they were getting, though.
You will find yourself on teams with a variety of different people from different parts of the country -- America contains several different regional cultures -- and that's good. On the other hand, you may socially find yourself the odd man out; my friend is pretty liberal, and the most talkative people in his group were very conservative. He kept his mouth shut and just concentrated on the work.
There are other distance learning programs out there, of course, and you should check into them as well. U of P seems okay, but it's not necessarily the best; it just advertises the most.
