Remote Learning

A piece of shit alternative to in-person learning and the fact that colleges won't reduce the tuition even a little bit is obscene.

It's a fucking joke and there will probably be a reckoning for universities once COVID-19 is alleviated.

College is so rewarding and engaging in-person, but remote learning fucking sucks and students are sick of getting ripped off!
