The document compares online and traditional classroom education. It outlines some pros and cons of each method. Online education tends to be cheaper, with undergraduate tuition and fees averaging $12,000 less than on-campus costs. However, online learning requires more discipline and motivation since it lacks face-to-face interaction. Traditional classroom learning is more expensive but provides a social network and life experiences. Both methods have merits depending on the individual learner's needs and preferences.
