Advantages are that you can work on your classes at your convenience. So if you are a night owl, that's the time you can work on it. No traveling to class, most classes have alot of discussion and great teachers that explain.

Disadvantages: You have to be disciplined to work on your own. Online classes have deadlines for assignments and discussion just like in class and if you fall behind it is very hard to catch up.

Online classes alot of people think are easier than regular classes. I have taken online classes for a few years now and I love them, but they can be intense and more in depth than regular classroom. But I guarantee you will understand it better by the time you get done. Check out CCConline.org. They are an organization based out of colorado with the university and a dozen other colleges. You can take all your courses online and get either your AA or AS there. It is a little spendy, but I have found it is well worth it.

One I finish my 2 yr RN I am thinking about doing the BSN online. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks. I believe I would be more ready for online, once I finish the 2 yr RN program. All of the kids will be out of the house by than.

The advantages for an on campus class is it gets me out of the house! Which is a good thing. It is nice to take a break from the three kids. I also enjoy working with the other students and talking with the instructors.

I've done both on-line and traditional schooling. I personally prefer the traditional way. I like the 'camaraderie' feeling of accomplishing the same goal as an entire class. I would also like to accept my diploma/degree along with my classmates whom I will struggle and succeed with. Additionally, I totally understand that the traditional way is not for everyone for whatever reason - lack of transportation, lack of baby-sitter, etc. AND on-line is not for everyone either esp. if you're the type of student who needs immediate answers. Like others have said, you definitely have to be disciplined in doing the on-line thing. It's not easy.
