online or on campus!?

Hi everyone,
My name is Liz and I am currently a college student at Duluth Business University in Minnesota. I am only in my second quarter of classes right now.
I am working towards a degree in Human Services and I hope to one day work with kids, and maybe adoption agencies.

This is my first time joining an online communit besides Myspace or Facebook, so I am kind of new to this.

I am taking my classes online right now, and it takes a ton of motivation and determination to do this. I also think I might be missing out on the on campus life. What do you guys think? I would like to hear feed back form both sides. What are the pros and cons of online learning and on campus?

Thanks for your time!

I guess online classes are pretty cool cuz you could do it from anywhere... that's the only advantage I see. but what about interacting with other people and stuff? and asking questions from the teacher is easier to get what is being taught when they're infront of you explaining it. (for me)
and i'd get too distracted on the computer while taking online classes.

campus because you meet more people and connections that may help boost your career

campus. Online classes are OK (I personally hate them) but that interaction you get with people in college is priceless

Liz, both online and on-campus degrees have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. The biggest benefit of online degrees is the flexibility they offer to students. You are free to study from anywhere and at anytime. Besides, online degree programs also allow you to save a ton of money on things like lodging, fuel, car, etc. However, like you rightly pointed out, they lack the personal instruction and social interaction that on campus degrees offer. Besides, the quality and validity of traditional degrees are rarely ever questioned.

Definitely campus because you'll miss out on the campus experience.

I take two online classes and two classes on campus and I have to say I prefer campus classes. Not only because you get to interact with others, but also because physically going to a class is so much more motivating. My online classes are out of sight, out of mind, and I easily forget about them which results in my assignments being turned in late.

Campus classes in my opinion are a lot better. (if you have an awesome teacher its pure joy).
I took one online class and I found it very hard to concentrate after the newness wore off.
