Jamaica does take scholarship students but a very limited number and your grades have to be A++ across the board, in Turks and Caicos where I lived from 2014 to 2016 no uni whatsoever - if your parents can't afford to fly you to England you are fucked. For those peeps online could be a real benefit.

I did all my degrees as a 'mature student' so didn't par with the uni crowd much. got over my kegger days by the time I was 15. made some wicked friends but mostly parred with them off campus.

I dunno, not saying y'all are wrong but for so many peeps I know, the credibility of online ed would def enhance their lives and leave more $$$$ in their pockets for what they need.

we were counting up all the places I've lived my life a few weeks ago. I've lived in ~30 unique cities split among 2 countries and 10 US states.
