On-campus learning system is ideal for embracing the student, making the studies a full time concern. In addition, it promotes team work, social behaviour and student life. The main problem with this approach is the lack of spare time. When considering that on-campus learning is usually full time, especially in the Greek Universities, it is even more difficult for the students to work at the same time, or/and follow other activities and hobbies they might have.

On the other hand, distance learning gives the ability to the students to enjoy the, valuable in our era, extra free time. There is great flexibility in the years of study (from 3 to 8 for a Bachelor degree) and the student is able to study at his own pace. Apart from the obvious disadvantage of not having a student life at all, another one has been discovered in reality. It has been quite common for students, especially but not exclusively to younger ages, to abandon their studies after a few months or a year. The majority of people require some form of pressure in order to be kept motivated. The harder the task, the bigger the need for supervision becomes. The idea of someone checking on you drives you to better results.
