Agreed.

I just had to add, I started a Masters degree program and took one class at my alma mater, and then we moved and I ended up taking one online class at a prestigous, established private university.

I was sorely disappointed. The course of course was 3 times as expensive than the public school program had been, but it was a good class overall. I just didn't think it was near as good as a live class with interactive lectures.

I decided to drop out and I will go take my classes in person at my alma mater, even though it means a 4-hour round trip drive once a week. I think it will be well worth it. It's my long range plan anyway.

For one class, I wouldn't be so concerned. But for a degree, it works in a pinch, but I Can't say it would be a preferred way. It just lacks something.
