Having true flexibility to balance all the competing aspects of our lives is so important. I'm interested to see how this idea plays out...

It may just suit those seeking continuing educating rather than a 18 year-old seeking the traditional college experience. I know I wouldn't trade those years for anything...but maybe for some of my less social peers, this might be a interesting option.
