So I am going to complete a degree next year.
I am trying to decide if I want to finish my program online or in-person.
For the online choice, I have the option to transfer courses from another university into my current program. I kind of like this option because they have some courses that I think would be great for me to take, like copy editing and other writing courses.
My current university has an advanced professional writing course that I could take, but it's not as in-depth as the certificate at the other university.
Going online is definitely a more flexible option, especially because my university is in another town and the commute is like an hour each way.
I earned another degree prior to this one, so I've been in school and taking in-person classes since 2014 (on and off.) I had a tough time last semester and started feeling really overwhelmed, I think I'm just overloaded with the classroom experience?
If I do choose to go online, I won't be completely isolated. I'll be around people at work and in hobbies. I'm also going to turn 34 this year, so I'm older than the average student.
Thoughts?

From reading your post, it seems you have a preference: online. It offers flexibility and more classes you are interested in. It cuts down on driving there and back, which would also save you money in transportation.

With what you said it looks like going online has more advantages for you @EglantineRose
