In my experience, online courses can be more difficult for students who struggle with time management and self-discipline. However, online courses can also provide a more flexible and convenient option for students who work or have family obligations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Survey_Results\"><\/span>Survey Results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 29% of adults with some college education but no degree cited financial reasons as the main reason they did not complete their degree.
