I was accepted to the program the year that the online masters was announced.  At first, I was not amused.<p>However, I really really enjoyed my time actually being on campus.  There were a few classes I took that would have been very difficult to do online, such as mobile &amp; ubiq computing, where I got to spend quite a bit of time in the prototyping lab.  I also had the chance to socialize a bit with professors and do some research with them.  And personally, I don&#x27;t do as well with online classes.  I think it&#x27;s really useful to have both kinds of programs.  They&#x27;re different experiences and they appeal to different people.  Having both campus and online programs gives more opportunities to innovate in education.
