On-campus vs. off-campus study

Introduction

Flexibility is essence of today's world. Communication through advanced technology has helped us in juggling with our studies and work. Technology has allowed us to perform various tasks from anywhere in the world. Technology is a leading world power. As lazy creatures, we are surrounded with the fruit of progress and enjoy our life effortlessly, machinery convenient, useful, indispensable and irreplaceable benefit created by our hands. The progress of technology is not surprise.

Humanity has reached fantastically and unprecedented during the last century: the invention of the telephone, TV-set, transmits by radio, if to mention. Today we cannot imagine our life without these machines. Take computers, for example. We cannot get along without them anyway. Eat, drink, and communicate via computers, finally living with them. They have become our obsession, perhaps because they have armed with plenty of new, flexible options or just because we have used them and they have become our toys (Braskamp, 2009, 101). The way we approach study is no exception. In this paper we are going to compare evaluate advantage and disadvantage of studying on and off campus since in Australia there are many universities offering off campus studies as an alternative to lecture-based, on-campus studies. It is said that there are both advantages and disadvantages connected with both on and off campus study.

Thesis statement

Australian universities are offering on campus and off campus studies, they both have advantages and disadvantages however it depends upon the students whether to choose off campus study or on campus study.

Discussion

In Australia there are many universities offering on campus and off campus study. For example, University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and Deakin University Australia. At USQ on campus study is rewarding, friendly, and safe, it has multicultural environment with low cost and modern facilities. While off campus study at USQ helps students get information through online Accommodation database. It helps students to access the data wherever easy and accessible to them as quickly as possible. On the other hand studying at Deakin is also a blessing because it also provides both facilities to students. The courses at Deakin are same for both off and on campus study. The difference is just students receive comprehensive support and material instead of attending classes. Australia is today effectively helping students in getting accessible education. However there are disadvantages of studying off campus and on campus which are discussed in this paper.
