Studying 100% online works perfectly for me. Some universities were offering degrees that were delivered half in a classroom and half online, which just wouldn’t have worked for me. I have two children and studying on campus would not be possible. The quality of my study material is great and the academics are wonderful. The fact that we’re able to access our material a week prior to the study period is extremely helpful.
