The article above goes in to detail on how debt has led many to consider moving education online. Some say you can afford the best education available online, but could not otherwise. They mention being able to study at your own pace, save money on commuting, save money on residences, etc. This to me was interesting because if the student is only interested in getting a degree at a low cost, then yes maybe they should consider this movement a good idea, but college is more than getting a degree. To me, it is about the experience and growth in responsibility and maturity. I would value these characteristics over a degree without question.
