Question Description
• Describe the opportunity cost of attending a four-year college (assuming a full-time schedule, living on-campus). Given these opportunity costs, why do people choose a four-year college experience?
• In your own life, what are the trade-offs you face when choosing online classes versus traditional face-to-face classes?
In your response posts to your peers, comment on the trade-offs made by your peers, and contribute other costs and trade-offs that might be possible. Additionally, discuss why trade-offs differ among individuals, giving concrete explanation.”more if they attended school online or maybe attended a two-year college. I will also say that attending these four-year colleges allows students to experience social events and develop certain social skills that people may not get to experience outside of a dorm. This, partnered with the immersive learning experience of attending classes daily, allows for a unique growing experience. I also believe that there is more of a sense of pride that comes with attending four-year colleges. I believe that the desire to experience the college lifestyle is what is most appealing to people. The social aspect outweighs the financial aspect as students are willing to put themselves through a lot of debt in order to get away from home and experience the college life.
