      Because part of a higher education degree is actually talking with people.

          Lmao. Nope. I’ve done both. Online classes are a fucking joke. Maybe some schools do it well, but most treat online classes like a correspondence course.

              Because math and science are large interconnected fields that you simply cannot learn from a textbook study. You must speak with other people about many different topics so you can broaden your understanding of where your education fits in the world around you.

              Have you ever studied a particular subject and wondered “OK… I can solve that problem now. Why did I learn it?” Textbooks are notoriously bad at explaining the why.
