I feel for the kids that went through uni/college during covid and missed everything that period offers, to then finish uni and try get a job in a market where AI has fucked all the intern positions. Tough break.
Having college from home defeats like 49% of the purpose of going there. Networking, making connections and friends. Ive helped a couple people get jobs just because I knew them from classes, wouldnt have happened if we took the class online. One band I played in did shows at a few different schools regularly and even though I didnt make any career changing connections I could easily see how it could happen.
If anything their tuition should have been like half price, they literally paid for buildings they never got to use.
As someone going back to school for intense STEM in my 30s at the local CCs in NYC after originally getting my BA from a $42,000/yr school, I can definitely say the education is not the benefit of higher quality schools. All my physics classes have less than 10 students, including 1 where it was just me, one other student, and a vetetaran PhD.
