From the Paper:

"There are other benefits of taking online classes. When I was going to college, I always had a hard time preparing my schedule. Some classes that I wanted to take were so far apart that I had to wait for several hours to take the next class. Sometimes, I was only able to schedule one class in a whole day, although I had to spend the same commuting time to go to college as I would have for a full day of classes. After completing most of my classes and nearing graduation, I could not find the last classes I needed to graduate. I had to wait for two semesters before the college offered those classes. Online classes take care of these scheduling problems, and there is no commuting time, parking problems, or having to buy a car just to go to college. There could be blizzard outside the house and I could still take an online class in the comfort of my home."
