text: Traditionally, going to college or to a private school in years K-12 means having to live on campus, but with distance learning you can live at home, and save money. That already makes distance learning less expensive. Since students won't have to live on campus to attend classes at the institution of their choice they won't have to pay an extensive amount of money for a dorm. For example, students with out financial aid could be paying anywhere from twenty to fifty thousand dollars a year to attend the school that they want to go to, and for some, the tuition is even more expensive if the institution they attend is very far from where they live. Even if a majority of students have financial aid, it doesn't cover all the expenses that come with living on campus. If students know they can't live up to paying all the loans they have, distance learning will help them a lot. Students can still achieve their goals since money would not be the biggest drawback anymore. They'll be able to learn from teachers that work in the institution of their choice while saving money.
