Earning a degree part time has never been more affordable or convenient. Better yet, attending online colleges provide even more advantages to the adult student than an offline college does. But there are some other benefits to studying for an online degree that are, well, a little odd, but no less useful:
1.) Study while in your underwear. No need to dress up fancy - just roll out of bed, fire up your computer, and get to learning! In fact, clothes might not even be strictly necessary…

2.) Open book tests - all the time! No need to craft sneaky crib sheets. You can use all the notes, textbooks, and websites you need to ace that exam.

3.) No need to waste time in traffic or dealing with angry drivers. Your “classroom” is just a few steps away, so avoid the highway and take the Information Superhighway instead!

4.) Take breaks whenever you want by playing a fun computer game or reading your favorite website.

5.) You won’t get in trouble for sleeping in class. Slip in a 15 minute cat nap and see your productivity soar.

6.) When you get up at night for some grub, how about getting a midnight intellectual snack too? It’s easy to study whenever, wherever you want, even if you get the urge at 3 AM.

7.) At a boring concert or dinner party? Fire up your PDA or smartphone and study. No need to waste time when you can be earning your degree!

8.) Avoid the annoying classmate or overbearing professor. No need for these fools to drag down your education or your day. Enjoy the wall of anonymity that the internet provides.

9.) Always have a built in excuse whenever you want to get out of something. In-laws want to visit? Simply tell them, “Oh sorry, I have to study/go to school/take a test/write a paper.” Best of all, you’re not really lying, are you?

10.) Have an excuse to “sit around” all day. If your spouse or significant other complains about your inactivity, simply tell them that you are working hard at your degree…then go back to playing Solitaire.
