Because college is about learning from all sorts of different students, not just from the professors and the textbooks.[/quote]

You don't need to attend college to learn about different peoples. Just move to NYC and work in a customer facing role and go out at night, you will meet people from all walks of life. A much more diverse group of people than 18-22 UMC where a few of the UMC have dark skin. Also, in most colleges everyone simply clusters with their own race/background anyways, and that includes the POC.

This entire propaganda about college being about learning from/about people more so than professors/textbooks is how colleges hike tuition and sell the "college experience".

Of course you can't learn the same coursework online. Of course you have to live on campus instead of commuting. Think about all the people you will meet!
