text: Another reason why I believe online courses do not benefit students is because it can affect their social life. At school students are with each almost everyday, they talk, help each other, and experience all kinds of students with different cultural backgrounds. Meanwhile at home, a student is just on their laptop everyday by themselves. This can cause a student become distant with others, not wanting to leave their house, also not being open minded to other students with differences. It could even cause the student to become uncomfortable around others and become antisocial because they are so use to being by themselves.
