5 Reasons why Online College is AWESOME!


With the boom of online colleges there comes a debate: which is better traditional schools or online schools? While there will always be a need for traditional schools, I'm here to tell you that for some students, online colleges are the answer! Here's 5 reasons why online college can be beneficial for you!

1. Time


If you've ever attended a traditional college you know how hard it can be to manage your time. You have to juggle your classes, your job, and your family. With online classes you don't have to work around the schedule that the school sets you work around your own.

2. Focus


There can be many distractions at at school and at home but, at home you can just close the door. You just have to deal with it when you're at school. Some students find it easier to set up a quiet  home office where they can study and focus.

3. Flexibility


Students that take online courses have more flexibility. Administrators, teachers, and counselors are more readily available to the student and are there to meet the students needs. This can make taking classes easier with online resources. 

4. Access 


Online Education allows students from across the country and the world get a quality education. Students in Arizona can take courses from Harvard or Yale. Students across the country that don't have access to a university now have the opportunity to get a quality education, from their homes! Online schools are breaking educational boundaries. 

5. Cost 

Last but not least! While the cost of tuition and books is about the same at traditional colleges and universities online colleges are becoming more competitive with their prices. Many fees that come along with traditional colleges are non-existent with online schools. No paying for parking, gas for commute, or a dorm room.

 Getting a degree will make your life better. There's just no question about it. But how you go about getting your degree is completely up to you. Online schools provide the same amount of coursework, and you will receive the same quality education as if you went to a traditional college. For some students online courses is the answer! Think about it.

Sincerely,
Student Voice

If you are an online student tell us your experience. What do you think of online courses?

  1. Online courses are a good indication of future learning. Some adults may not be able to attend a traditional university due to family or work obligations. Open coursework will allow them to continue learning at a potential lower cost versus a traditional classroom setting.
