Unimpressed by online classes, college students seek refunds

[targetpractice]

1. Not sure how to feel about this...

I went to the University of Virginia, and the experience of being there was hugely important to my development as an adult... The architecture was breathtaking, I came out of the closet there, learned to become a social person... I really feel for students now who can't participate in the on-campus college experience... I think college is partly about learning, but mostly is about learning how to be an adult... Leaving the nest, learning about yourself, treating people kindly.

That said... I think they may deserve refunds, but would hate for colleges to go bankrupt. Every single part of our society is screwed up right now... We need to pause and think about how to move forward. And that pause and reflection is not happening by mid-May.

When I was confused about committing to a major... My father told me that a Bachelor's degree won't make me an expert in anything... College is like, "You are given a four year project, how well did you manage it."
