As a tech guy the right comment would be — define distance, we talking kilometers, meters or millimeters?

Distance learning? Fine.

Distance parties with the girls? Total bummer!

The MOOCs still party in San Marcos. Only the learning is “distance.”

But with a MOOC freshman year, miss out on the girls — 3/4ths blonds?

Hmm, maybe not: With all the money saved, have a lot more for parties with the girls!

Besides, maybe some of the girls would also be taking MOOCs, and we could have a study group! I’d help them with calculus, and they would give me the key to what was for me the unfathomable, inscrutable, secret of academics — how to make an A on a term paper in English!

MOOCs — what is a MOOC?

It is a way to get free tuition at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.

Read about it here.
