text: Finally, distance learning helps students save money on transportation and vehicle costs by being available at home. Most students that attend school acquire a car ride from a parent or friend, this increases unwanted wear and tear on the vehicle's tires and axles because of speed bumps and, usually, tight curbs. Most students have enough financial trouble as it is with supply and tuition costs (for college). Distance learning gives students the opportunity to learn from home, where no vehicle is required to take them there. It also saves money for students who have to use public transportation, such as the bus or subway. Distance learning is usually cheaper than an institution or university anyway.
