<p>I’ve already said in your other thread why online college is a bad choice for a new graduate without the ‘some college and full time job’ that adult education may be helpful for. But it also costs money. Any good one costs a lot, and the numerous bad to terrible ones do to. It is not a way to save money. If cost is an issue, the cc to 4 year route is sensible. They should see that it is a guaranteed route and if it is full of stupid people then it will be easy for your to get the grades to transfer to a decent 4 year and they will save a lot of money. The argument is more apt that only people who are stupid go to online colleges, especially for profit ones–overpaying for a subpar education should embarrass them. Don’t they think it will be embarrassing it will be to say you are going to online college? People will think you can’t get in anywhere. Any education that doesn’t have classroom component is going to be subpar. I wonder why it is okay for your sister to go to college and not you. I think you have made your bed as far as relations with them and not been as clever as your sister.</p>
