Some privates only do online classes:

Here is a listing of Michigan’s online only classes through Coursers. It’s very extensive.

https://online.umich.edu/

It’s also, for the most part, free.

Gee I didn’t see Michigan listed? Perhaps you’re projecting a bit? Still pissed that Michigan is so highly rated?

OP - can you please clarify if your kid chose to take online classes or if they were forced to as no-in person option available?

Have you seen their football stadium? Suites & amenities for VIPs?

You’re the bankroll


Exactly $0 in tuition money goes to football or any other sports program. The athletic department has its own, separate, budget, and at a school like UTK that budget is huge.

Is this the case at other US universities/colleges in 2024?


UFlorida and U Arizona.

They have more flexibility to volunteer, join clubs and do internships. Taking an online class while you’re living in the dorms on a vibrant campus is very different than virtual schooling during Covid.


No it's not. If kids are living in the dorms and on campus they should have in person classes. That's absurd.

Since YOU are the one paying for the OOS tuition why are you allowing your kid to choose to take online classes?

Geez, I had no idea! But, I guess just like zoom meetings aren’t disappearing from the workplace, I guess online classes are also here to stay.

These public schools are not meant to provide you personalized education. Isn’t that why you sent your kids to DC privates?

OP asked why they are letting DD take online classes, not making her, so it sounds like it was her choice. Good for the school for having options. DD needs to limit the information she gives him parents. They don't need to know the physical location of each class.
