In my experiences, online is so much better. They work with your lifestyle. It is so much easier. You have classes and chats to interact with. I would have never went to a real college, I can't sit there and focus in a classroom with a bunch of people in it. I have to say that I have learned so much more than I ever had with Kaplan University online. They teach me so well, and if I do not understand it, they make sure they do not move on until I do.

i have to go with traditional learning because besides academically traditional learning also enhances once social ability. nothing beats the face-to-face interaction of students to students or students to teachers. but then again if you have a busy lifestyle, then why not take online education.

I too think nothing is better than traditional learning. While I was in college I took a couple of online classes, but really didn't get much out of them. Having a teacher and a classroom full of different opinions can't be simulated...

I think there's no substitute for traditional learning. The person to person interaction is vital to the learning process. Online education is a great resource, but you miss out on all the nuances involved with actual one-on-one interaction.
of course if the most important thing is just to get through a class as quickly and as conveniently as you can -- online is perfect.
