part of school however, I think is to discipline you to work and to think. I was a pretty hardcore worker before school (Architecture at Berkeley) but school took things to a new level. Education is hard work.
It is the synergistic aspect of a live brick and mortar (concrete and rebar) school that I think an online univeristy will lose -- does any one take school by video tape seriously?
A student needs to make sure that school doesn't get in the way of his/her education, for sure, but also I think a student in the big schools (I went to JC's for a while which was much more lax) also learns better to roll with the punches, whether that means not sleeping, or getting his/her ass reemed gradewise.
I will say however, that the quality of teaching in the junior colleges outside of architecture was equal or better, most of my non-architecture profs suck hard. They teach because they have to because they are researchers at Cal.
And so it goes....
