Distance education is a good way to learn at home and time saving because you don’t need to take a ride to school. Also, you don’t need to spend your precious time stuck at traffic jam or spend extra money for fuel.
The down side of Distance education is that you need to work on you own, so if you don’t understand something you need to e-mail or message only which might take extra time to be responded while face to face is instantly respond. Also, you will not have a lot of friends like being in a real school.
