On-Campus College

For the most part, there are three main reasons why people go to college: you're officially tired of your job and want to try something else, you just graduated from high school and want to continue your education, or simply, you want to earn more money. Whatever the case may be, there are some advantages and disadvantages of earning a college degree at an on-campus college or on-campus university that you need to know. First, some advantages of going to an on-campus college are having the one-on-one attention of your professor, studying at the campus library, meeting different people, going to the student union to hang out with friends or that special significant other, joining different clubs and organizations, playing a sport, or even sitting in a class setting. On the flipside, a big disadvantage of going to an on-campus college is rearranging your schedule to make it to class on time; however most colleges offer the same class at various times and days to help accommodate the student. So, in conclusion, if you enjoy the one-on-one attention from a professor, and meeting different people, then going to an on-campus college or on-campus university is right for you.
