Also the assignments you would have play a big part of time. There are many different ways the two would give assignments. The test and quizzes are done in a different way. In some cases you may have more time at one school compared to the other one. A flexible schedule is something important to have when attending college.
The cost would be another big issue when considering schools. There would be many extra expenses when attending a traditional college. Both schools are basically averaged out about the same as far as price. At a traditional school there would be lodging to pay for if
