Online education degree - what do you think of it?

Hi,I'm thinking of attending college online but i have no idea where to start? Does any of you have experience with online distance learning? What should i expect? Is it any good or I should just go to a traditional college.

The online degree deals are all pretty much scams, either outright or thinly veiled. If you actually want an education, as opposed to a illegitimate and fraudulent degree, then go to a traditional college.

Plus, in online courses you donot have a fixed routine/duty, and after 5-6 "goodwill" lessons normal life wins and you begin to skip classes and at the end you do nothing.
Only persons with VERY BIG will/need take advantage of online courses.
That's for learning. If you really want a degree/certificate, you must do in a traditional college. Usually internet degrees, as Tomisimo says, are scams. Only traditional Universityes with online sites are to be trusted, and usually the last exam it's a real one.

Hi, I don't know what your schedule is or the reason behind why you want to study online and not go to a traditional college. One way you can know if it's any good is by looking at what other students taking online classes have experienced. By reading online college reviews written by other online students can help you decide.All the best.

Standard operating procedure for spammers. Both Tonny and Morris are bots. First they post a "question", then come back and "answer" it with a link to their spam website.
