online vs campus

Online schooling vs. on campus schooling is a personal descion you must make yourself. Depending on your lifestyle and finacial aid status is how you would determine which schooling is best for you. Obviously we are all taking this course online, so we have one thing in common. This semester I am taking 4 online classes and 1 on campus class.

Online school can offer a couple of benefits, such as, If you have work hours that contrast with school hours, if you have anxiety about attending on campus classes, if you have young children whom you want to stay at home with, if you just don't feel like getting dressed or want to go at your own pace.

These days, especially in big cities, stores are open 24- hours, demanding people to work crazy hours which don't allow time for school during the day, therefore people who work crazy hours would benefit from online schooling.

7% of college students at UCLA reported having anxiety attacks the first year of college. Thus, people with anxiety attacks are more likely to take advantage of the online schooling.

A big majority of people in college also have children. Sometimes people want their children home with them but they also desire going to college, That's when online schooling comes in handy.

Let's face it, a lot of people are lazy and want to do their schooling in their pj's. If you dont have upper division classes that require lab, and can stay at home and do that, then more power to you.

On campus schooling requires more social effort, but there are benefits. Sometimes going back to college can seem scary, or even being a freshman might be scary for you, but once you get through your first day you will be proud of yourself. On Campus college is actually a lot of fun. Meeting people and joining groups and clubs is self fullfilling because interacting with people and discussing issues and learning with people is important for social growth. Learning how to be social is a very important tool for success. If you do have a fear of being on campus, the best way to get over it is to just face your fear and take a class. You will learn that you love being on campus.

Going to college on campus is beneficial for another reason because you will get some exercise walking all over the place. Burning calories is a good thing!

I personally perfer on campus rather than online, because I like meeting new people and feeling like im apart of something. Also I tend to do better with my homework when I have to go to class. When checking to see what homework you have for the week is up to you, it's a lot easier to just not look at your agenda then to actually miss an on campus class.

You can decide what works best for you. If you struggle with social anxiety, just give on campus school a try. Everybody is working for the same goal as you, so don't feel intimidated!!
