Why Haven't Universities Made Online Education the Standard for Bachelor's Degrees and Beyond? (reddthat.com)

In my experience learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Why it is not the default option for universities?

Online is only really better for lower levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. As you work your way up from default memorization, in person learning starts to shine.

Also, a bachelor's degree isn't supposed to just teach you hard skills, but also soft skills to make you a leader. It is a lot harder to teach leadership when students don't have to deal with people.
