13 Reasons Why Studying Online Is The Way Of The Future

You could get your degree while sunning yourself in the Whitsundays — how good is that?!

1. Because you don't have to wake up at a set time to attend a lecture.

ABC

Go ahead, hit that snooze button. You make the rules now.

2. Because you don't have to worry about being distracted by an unending chorus of chattering and chip-munching.

NBC

Honestly, how anyone can concentrate in a lecture hall packed with 300+ students is beyond me.

3. Because it teaches you the art of self discipline.

E!

Nothing will teach you self-motivation or time management faster than an online degree that you are solely responsible for.

4. Because you don't have to worry about putting together a stylish ~lewk~ each day.

Netflix

Put those comfy sweats on — you know you want to.

5. Because it's more cost effective than studying on-campus.

NBC

Add up out-of-home meals, transport costs and student housing — and you've got yourself a pretty sizeable stack of outgoing bills.

6. Because you get to go at your own pace.

Hulu

Not feeling it today? Have a day off. Want to dedicate a whole week to just one subject? Have at it.

7. Because it's way better for the environment.

NBC

Less paper waste, less emission from transport and less energy to power buildings — it's a win-win for Mother Nature!

8. Because you don't have to short-change your social life — you can plan your degree around it.

Netflix

"Sorry guys, no beach for me today, I have to attend a tutorial at this precise moment!" — said no online student ever.

9. Because it gives people in remote locations far better access to education.

PBS Digital Studios

No need to move across the country when you've got access to your entire degree online.

10. Because it wastes less of your time.

VH1

Say goodbye to all those lost commuter hours, sick days and ill-timed holidays. In case it hasn't been made abundantly clear, you set your hours online.

11. Because you don't have to sacrifice a subject you're genuinely interested in, just to be in the same class as a friend.

Your education is the first priority when you study online. Not making sure you're sitting next to whatsherface.

12. Because you get better access to your tutors.

Hulu

Unlike traditional tutorials, where it can feel like your voice gets drowned out by the crowd, online study facilitates one-on-one discussions with your teachers.
