2. Diploma Mills
With the success of online colleges on the rise we have seen the uprising of diploma mills as
well. A diploma mill is a place that will sell you a fake diploma. If the school offers a diploma
for sale with little or no class participation required then it's a diploma mill. via

3. You are in charge of your success!
Being a student at home can be a huge benefit to someone with a busy schedule. It can also
be a major distraction. Most times students who take online courses take them whenever it is
convenient, at home, at work, at the middle of the night. Being a student on your own time
and terms can make it hard to focus. via

4. There is not much interaction with others
To some this can be detrimental. If you are looking for a whole college social experience,
online courses may not be for you. While you may not have the same "experience" as
someone who attends a traditional college, you will certainly gain the same education. via

5. There can be technical problems
It is important to have a computer that works well and a stable internet connection. Yet, even
the most fool-proof systems can cause problems for teachers and students. These problems
are on the decline but it is important to note that you may experience technical difficulties.

6. Standardization of coursework and materials
has not yet been completed
Even though you may be going to an accredited school and earning a high quality
education that does not mean that you are earning the same education as students
in the same program at different schools. Schools use different class content and
course materials via
