Internet based courses have become a popular alternative to university based courses. Some people prefer this type of learning because they don't need to attend lectures. Others argue it is important to study at universities. Discuss both sides/ views and give your opinion.

There is no doubt that these days
students
 prefer attending internet-based
courses
 over attending physical classes at
universities
.
While
 some believe that attending actual
courses
 is more beneficial, others prefer online
courses
due to
 their convenience.
This
 essay will discuss both views and I will draw my personal opinion. In terms of advantages, online studying has many.
Firstly
,
students
 do not need to leave their homes to start learning.
Secondly
, online
courses
 are available around the clock.
In other words
,
students
 can gain knowledge at any time they prefer. Few study early morning
while
 others do at midnight.
Thirdly
, online
courses
 tend to be cheaper than
courses
 taken at
universities
.
In addition
, most of the
students
 have limited income, which makes online
courses
 a more attractive option.
On the other hand
, attending
courses
 at
universities
 has many positives. The most important benefit is that university degrees help
students
 to secure better jobs post-graduation. Many companies seek senior
students
 at
universities
 to hire them even before graduation. The learning experience in actual classes can not be replicated in online
courses
.
Students
 learn from their professors and help each other to gain knowledge in a physical class. In conclusion,
although
 online
courses
 are gaining popularity, some people still prefer learning at physical
universities
. In my opinion, online
courses
 are beneficial and teach
students
 many skills and information, especially those that are rapidly updating like coding skills. I
also
 believe that practical fields like medicine and nursery can only be learned in actual
universities
.
