Oil Price Is Up? Students Move to Online Colleges
July 6, 2008 · Filed Under Online Degree Costs · Comment
With gasoline at more than $4 a gallon, more students are considering getting a college degree in their home, without having to drive.
One student for example is Christy LaBadie, which is starting to learn medical administration in Northampton Community College. She estimates that getting her degree online saves her about $50 a week on gasoline. According to the Sloan consortium which represents more than 2,500 colleges and universities around the country, 20% of the students take today at least one online course.
