Yo, anyone else just NOT convinced by traditional unis anymore? I’m halfway through my online degree and it lowkey slaps harder. :thinking::magnifying_glass_tilted_left:

Same here. Dropped my traditional uni app after I found this online program. No regrets. The application process was literally a breeeeze. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::wind_face:

Okay, but can we talk about how the online courses almost feel designed for us? Like they just get it. Profs who actually use TikTok references?! :skull::books:

Facts. I swapped because I was tired of fighting with closed-off syllabuses. Plus, my online course is like 50% cheaper. I’m laughing all the way to my piggy bank. :pig_face::money_bag:

Tried trad uni. Got ghosted by admin for weeks. :joy: Online admin replied in the same day. They’re literally speaking our language. :rocket::speech_balloon:

What about social life though? :eyes: Are we missing out or is Discord the new campus hangout? fomo

I thought I’d miss campus vibes but turns out, making friends online is just as real. We had a virtual pizza party yesterday! :pizza::mobile_phone:

Anyone else noticed how online profs are surprisingly chill about deadlines? Or is that just me? :sweat_smile::alarm_clock:

Absolutely! They seem to understand work-life balance unlike those relentless traditional profs. #respect :raising_hands:

Traditional unis are the boomers of education. Let’s be real. :joy:

Online degrees have trendy courses too. Just finished one on AI that was basically like watching Black Mirror, but learning. :exploding_head::light_bulb:

OpinionatedOlive

Had one trad uni offer but when it came to flexibility, online just won hands down. Why commute when you can just zoom in from your bed? :hot_beverage::person_in_bed:

DigitalDaisy

Online courses are more inclusive. I can work part-time and study. Don’t even get me started on accessibility features. :sparkles::ear_with_hearing_aid:

LurkingLarry

Lurking but can someone drop more deets on how grading works online? It’s all like, automated vibes or nah?

15

VibeScholar

Some are automated, but feedback is actually more in-depth. They have time to give REAL comments. :memo::speech_balloon:

ZoomerZebra

I feel seen when my online professors remember my name. In trad uni, I’m just student #452. :unamused_face::eyes:

ChillPillPhil

Online options = more freedom to pick classes that ACTUALLY interest me, not just filler content. :artist_palette::globe_showing_americas:

EduExplorer

I’d love for trad unis to catch up with their online counterparts. Better course variety and accessibility is needed across the board. :folded_hands:

To sum it up, online education is kinda like that ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ experience we all needed. :video_game::open_book:

Online unis: 1, Traditional unis: 0. Change my mind. :winking_face_with_tongue:
