I only partnered with people for projects where we were forced to work together (this was rare). I’ve asked a few questions during office hours regarding some work. I could absolutely do both of these things from home. It may be better to do in person classes for some people who like the interaction and overall “college experience,” but that comes down to preference. If people knew they could do all of it from home for free AND they could take a test to prove the knowledge, many wouldn’t definitely take that route.
Yeah, not every college course is better than just learning stuff on your own. I learned more about doing math from khanacademy than class. Once you’re beyond just solving problems and learning the Hows and Whys of math, though, it’s really helpful to have peers and a teacher.
