Location of campus universities, schools and colleges
Of course, studying an on campus program does mean that you will need to go to a specific location, but fortunately, universities and colleges are dotted all around the US and Canada. So wherever you live, you are likely to be within driving distance of your campus.
You can find out more about the location of campuses and find one near you by clicking on the relevant links in the US universities and colleges and the Canadian universities and colleges web pages.
Studying campus programs
Most of the online programs listed on the website are also available as programs at campus universities. Studying at a campus university can be a very rewarding experience. This campus education is particularly valuable for younger students, providing opportunities for socialising and making new friends and useful contacts for the future.
The use of ICT is now very much a part of campus courses, which are sometimes offered in a flexible, "blended learning" mode, i.e., some elearning and some face-to-face. So campus students still get some of the benefits of online learning in their campus training.
Financing your study of campus programs
Check your chosen on campus school for scholarships, internships and work opportunities for the campus programs they offer. Also, in-state tuition may be available for these campus programs.

Online Learning vs Campus Study
Which should you choose - online learning or campus study?
Although online study does provide flexibility for working adults and others not able to attend campus universities or colleges, for those who are able to attend, there is stlll a lot to be said for the "campus" experience. This "campus" experience is particularly valuable for younger students, providing opportunities for socialising and making new friends and useful contacts for the future.
Online programs often appear to be the more economical alternative. However, campus schools may offer scholarships, internships and work opportunities. Also, in-state tuition may be available for campus schools. All these can make campus study a financially viable alternative to online study.
Online learning does not suit everyone. It depends on your learning style. The ability to think independently, self-discipline, motivation and good time management are all required for online learning to be effective. If you have a problem with these, then a teacher driven, on-campus degree may be the best for you.
Not all programs convert easily to the online study mode. Those programs that require laboratory work (e.g., some of the sciences) or the use of equipment (e.g., engineering) are better taken as campus programs. Some schools make special arrangements for these courses to be taken face-to-face whilst the rest of the courses are taken online. The use of ICT is now very much a part of campus courses, which are sometimes offered in a flexible, "blended learning" mode, i.e., some elearning and some face-to-face. So campus students still get some of the benefits of online learning.
So which should you choose - an online school or a campus school? There is no right or wrong answer - it all depends on your life-style, your learning style and the program you wish to take.
