Study: Millennials Prefer Traditional Classrooms Over Online Ones

Students are warming up to virtual education, but according to a new study, they still believe it's easier to learn in a traditional classroom.

Millennial Branding, a Generation Y consulting firm, and online marketplace Internships.com, conducted an online survey in May in which they asked 1,345 college students in the United States about their views on the future of education. The study found almost 53% of students polled agree that "online colleges are a reputable form of education," but only 43% think an online classroom can match or surpass the quality of a traditional one.
