Online classes are very popular in many schools and definitely have some pros and cons. While the online courses obviously don't allow for face-to-face interaction, there is often a lot of interaction in online groups. And, to be quite honest, there isn't much interaction in a traditional lecture-type of class! I don't think one is harder or easier than the other. As long as you're taking both online classes and traditional ones, you will still have the college experience you're looking for.
