But we are talking about a bachelor here; for a master or phd I see that point... For a bachelor... not so much. Besides parties with my peers and catching up with sleep in lectures during the bachelor, it got interesting after the bachelor exactly because of what you mention.

Not everyone parties all the time and sleeps through lectures of course. Some undergraduate programs are very academic.

This was academic, but it was rather boring and no one was very serious until I discovered I could get points doing graduate courses, so when getting in to small groups with the professor instead of 100+ people lecture halls (with materials I can just read 1 to 1 from the book or syllabus was not very different than studying online), it got interesting.

But yeah, I guess it depends on a lot of factors; I just can see more benefit from msc/phd physically with peers and profs while bsc is more imaginable as online course. For my feeling at least.
