[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for sharing.  So will tuition be reduced or just room/board not charged?  My HS senior is considering her choices now and I do not want to pay private school tuition for distance learning.  I really hope colleges get that.[/quote]

My kids are launched, thank God.  But something to think about: if distance learning is actually working*, so you EVER want to pay $50-75K a year for a liberal arts college education which is largely party time (or maturation time) for your children?  I can see a very few elite colleges --think Ivies, Stanford, MIT-- getting away with this in the future.  And probably med schools and other places where hands-on is a part of the education.

*If it's not working, shame on the universities that are holding on to the spring tuition money.

I can see some long term effects on the cost of higher education in this country, making it more like European universities where it's not usually centered on a campus lifestyle.  If parents begin to act like consumers, it could be a positive. [/quote]
