Carly,

I think that you're very negative; maybe you haven't had good experiences with online education. As for courses on campus; courses online can also be bad; none of them are perfect if you ask me.

I've taken online courses on both upper secondary school- and university level and I've some nightmares but also very many fabulous moments! Everything depends on the teacher; if the teacher are a devoted online teacher your studies can be a dream! When I studied Literature at the University of Dalarna, we'd weekly seminaries where we talked with our teacher via Adobë Connect and we could e-mail our teachers with questions and schedule meetings with them on Adobë Connect. I loved that form and I can absolutely Think of return to them again.

Some universities are good at online studies and some are absolutely not; it isn't because online studies are bad but instead because of the teachers attitudes to this form of education.

I think online studies are a part of the future, people aren't willing to move to get an education anymore. In my country, many people start at the university later; we don't have the 'college culture' which you've in the States.

Last but not least, to say that online studies aren't real that's not fair at all. I'm equal to you; I've studied hard and my studies haven't been a dance on roses either only because I've studied online. That's what I call prejudices.
