I suppose a proper analogy would work like this: 5 minutes in person with a girl is worth more than 5000 text messages. Same applies for learning. You can teach yourself many things, but something very human is missing when it's not done live.
This is likely true. With a physical campus you get the advantage of immersing students in a culture of your choosing. You also get favorable logistics when it is time to take the rest of the class to a no-show's door. Not to mention all of the value you get out of students maintaining what they can be trusted with of the physical campus.
