"I'm not saying that people who go to all-you-can-eat buffets are unhealthy, but many unhealthy people are attracted to all-you-can-eat buffets."

I'm not going so far as to label these people lazy in a general sense. I despise Kaplan University, University of Phoenix, and the lesser known online schools (lesser known usually means even more questionable accreditation and something you should stay the hell away from). The people who choose to give their money to these schools for bachelors, graduate (I know of fools who thought they got real PhDs from online schools that no one ever heard of), and associates degrees tend to be people who have limited understanding of academia and their current or potential field(s) of expertise. Many of these people are very busy with work and/or family and struggle to find time for even these online classes.

However, there are students in these programs who ARE lazy and that is one reason why they wouldn't survive at a "real" college or university. They most often aren't saving money by going to Kaplan University and University of Phoenix. They consider themselves to be saving time and finding a place that suits them.
