Studying an online course can bring you into contact with people you would never have the opportunity to meet otherwise. Online courses are open to people who live and work all over the world, and many people from other countries choose to study online degrees from US colleges and universities.
This means that your fellow students can be really diverse, giving you the chance to work with people from other backgrounds and cultures. This can enrich your own study as you learn how other countries work, and the different ways in which they think. You can make real friends this way, making your life more interesting, and maybe even giving you travel opportunities that you would not normally have! Studying online is about more than simply gaining a qualification.
