Attending a university is all about the experience— it’s about being around other students from all over the world. It’s about meeting insightful professors. It’s about the unique events on campus. It’s about the weekend frat parties. It’s about the different student clubs. It’s about the football games. It’s about building community.
Is college worth paying thousands of dollars for since it’s going to be online via zoom or something?

There is a widespread perception that the online classes are of lower value than the in-person classes, and that this should be reflected in a lower tuition. A lot of colleges and universities are in denial of this and are attempting to hold to their pre-Covid tuition fee. Schools that offer online degrees charge the same tuition as the classes that meet in-person. In fact, your degree or transcript will never say that you earned it online or in-person; its immaterial. You are paying to earn a degree in a particular school and it costs what it costs to earn it, in-person or online.
Over hundreds of thousand people are signing a petition demanding that Universities across the USA and other country officials reduce their fees in the wake of the decision to move spring quarter classes online over the coronavirus.
The petition comes as more students and parents across the globe are asking what the shift from on-campus to online classes amid the coronavirus contaminant means for their wallets.
Questions regarding partial housing and meal plan refunds, as well as assistance with spur-of-the-moment travel plans as college students are asked to leave their dorms, have also increased.
I found a lot of students globally complained about that, they think it is not worth to pay such high tuition for online classes. but if we think from Universities or colleges point of view they are spending huge on purchasing software or applications services to move online for classes.
