ASU being innovative, LSU talking about bankruptcy.

Whether we like it or not, this is the future of higher education. Tradition and experience mean very little to the millennials and Generation Me coming up behind them.

But isn't the point of going to Arizona State for the hot chicks? What's the point of enrolling in ASU anymore if it's online?

After seeing what ASU has to offer, I think I'd rather go to campus

1. Enroll
2. Move to campus
3. "attend" online class whenever you're not slaying hot ASU arse
4. ???
5. Profit



Flash: just because the classes are online doesn't mean you can't live there

Networking is the key to any business. No way to simulate that online. They are just pandering to the "I just need a degree crowd."

Not the entire future. Online learning will never entirely replace being in a physical classroom.

I've lost count...how many bash millennial threads have we had so far this week?

How much "networking" did you do as a fricking freshman?

Most freshmen are taking general classes and have no idea what they want to do with their lives.

I see you have no clue what networking is. That's all freshmen do.

Oh, I agree, but $200 per credit hour x an expected 10,000 additional students is what matters to ASU, not whether the students who go the online work are successful.

You don't do "professional" networking as a freshman.

What's funny is I read an article recently stating that "millennials" spend too much of their money on "experiences."

I think everyone just makes of things about millennials as they wish.

I'd argue that being in is no more like being in a real "classroom" than being online.

People used to hate on ASU because they had a pretty big freshman failure rate (not sure what it is right now)... All President Crow saw was more easy $$$. Think about 10,000 x $5,000 and maybe a third of those kids give up. And then 10,000 more sign up the next year.

I had plenty of classes my freshman year that had 30 students or less.

Cool anecdotal story bro. I don't talk to a single person that I made friends with my freshman year of college. My contacts came from upper level classes with students who I shared interests with. I talk to one of them weekly.
