College Vs Online Colleges
Today, students have a choice of which College they want to attend. They work hard their entire lives and when they finally are ready to attend College, life gets in the way. With College tuition costs rising and students having to work and go to school at the same time.
College
starts to seem like a faded memory. Today there is a choice you can send
your child to a brick and mortar College or there are hundreds of
Online Colleges all over the Internet. Which is better? Let’s take a
look and see what the benefits are to attending a College and studying
online.
The benefit of attending a College is that you get the College
experience. You get to see a new chapter in your academic life. You will
learn more about deadlines and cramming for exams. College has a
certain pressure to it that helps prepare you for the job world. If the
student is having trouble or has to ask a question, the professor is
right in front of them. They can get instant help but at the same time
most College students have to work as well as go to school. This can
start to affect the student’s study habits too.
A benefit for attending an online college is that you have the
opportunity to learn and study at your own pace. You choose when you
attend school and the best part about an online College is that if the
weather is beautiful outside and you want to be outside but you want to
attend class, you can take the computer outside and enjoy the weather
and get an education too. Another benefit of attending Online Colleges
is that by studying at your own pace the attendance is better. With
regular Colleges your car could break down or the weather may be bad.
But it doesn’t stop you from attending the online college.
Another great benefit of attending an online College is the cost. By
attending College from home you aren’t paying for the cost of
attendance, room and board or even books. This helps keep the tuition
down. Tuition can range from $ 15,000 to $ 19,500 for the entire course
of study. Compare that to a 4year regular College.
The negatives of going to a regular College is that students get
caught up in Campus Life the first year and sometimes their studies
aren’t being done because they are enjoying the social aspect of College
to much. The negative of an online College is that students don’t get
any social interaction. Everything is done from your own personal
computer. If you are really serious about attending College then you
will want to check out several online College Campuses and then compare
them to the Colleges you child may want to attend. Costs are cheaper at
an online university and financial aid is available. You have to decide
which way you will benefit best from? The choice is yours.
