Online universities cannot offer life style

Online universities cannot offer "Life style"; I feel like I am stating the obvious, but it's pretty important, so I'll point this out. Studying business online and get MBA; studying online enables you to keep working full time. You will earn MBA in 3 years, and MBA will enable you to take your career to the next level. Managerial position, higher income, design a project instead of just follow what your boss tells you to you. All sound great, and marketing pitch like this isn't exactly a lie. Many online universities offer MBA. You can keep working full time if you study online because you have very flexible schedule. MBA (or any other online degree, online associate degree, online bachelor degree, master or PhD) probably gets you to earn more. More interesting job tasks. It offers you a lot. However, there is one thing that online universities cannot offer, that is "life style." There are number of differences between studying online, in virtual classroom and studying in physical classroom. In addition to that, there is a certain life style that you live when you go to a traditional university. When I say life style, it does not just mean partying or procrastinating at a coffee shop. Intelligent stimulating conversations with fellow students. Discussions with professors and other faculty members. Make friends and meet people. Rare books sold at book stores around the campus. Reading club, dance club, hiking club, Karate club, etc. The package really makes three years, four years or often longer worthwhile and makes it a memorable time in your life. That is something online universities cannot offer.
