More and more people recently are sending mail and not emails anymore. This change in preference is bringing back the old emotions which were associated with a letter when you would receive it through the post. Of course sending emails is cheaper and quicker, but it doesn't have the same margin of satisfaction as a letter. The difference in cost between these two methods is trivial. If we compare however, online studying versus physically studying the differences are immense.
Studying is now part of every students schedule in life when they finish school. It is considered a must for most people, and families expect this of their children, well at least in most countries despite their financial capabilities. Universities have improved their online facilities for students immensely, making the experience similar to that of being in the actual classroom.
Benefits with Online Studying:
Living expenses – Expenses such as accommodation and living expenses depending on the country where you are studying can be thousands, and that excludes of course the actual university fees. These are completely eliminated. Furthermore, the stress and cost of searching for accommodation is also eliminated.Comfort – Online studying offers you the ability to watch lecturers at the comfort of your own home, without having to consider what to wear. How many times people sit and think what to wear when they go to class.
For some their day starts off with a little stress.
Convenient – Universities prerecord and upload lectures so that students may access them at their own time. This practically allows you to control the lecture so that you don’t miss a thing. How many times do you always miss what the lecturer said, all the time probably?
Concentrating – Online studying allows you to concentrate more, as there are less distractions from others around you. This is very important, as this helps you remember more information which helps with your studying later.
Working – Since you are able to observe a lecture when it suits you, you are in a position to find some part time work. Studying in the day and working at night or vice verse. You have the option to do what you want.
A lot of people argue that the actual course fees can be as expensive as being at the university and studying. This can be justified due to the costs associated with setting up the infrastructure to provide the online facilities. Whether it is the same or cheaper depends on the university, but the benefits from virtual learning are a lot. A lot of families or individuals are not able to bear the full cost of actually going to University. Being able to save some money can be a blessing for few.
Going to university has a lot of benefits also, but it does cost. If you can afford this without you or anyone else financially struggling then go and study. A lot of universities nowadays due to the immense competition are promoting their universities to students in different ways and this is affecting them. E.g. Student life experience, networking, parties, events etc. These can make play a huge role in persuading a student to study abroad. Do not let their media promotions affect your decisions.
The option is there so consider it before you follow your friends or the trend, keep it simple.
