I'm pretty sure that you also get a membership in the good-ole-boy network. Something that comes in handy from time to time, and not something you get online, unless you need a Level Five Leprechaun to join in the battle against the Giant Catipillar monster in your WoW guild. Traditional college also gives you experience dealing with people socially and a gentle introduction to the Real World, which suitcase Community colleges and online school alike don't give. Of course, this isn't what everyone is looking for an an education, and everyone doesn't always need those thing, but Online and Offline Colleges are Apples and Oranges in many many ways. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
