Meeting my classmates in the virtual world was beyond weird. It felt like we were interacting more than we would on the phone, but less than we would have in person. You can't truly replicate things like smells (yes, our primal instincts still tell us a lot) or body language. I was surprised and even kind of proud at how well our group members that participated worked so well by cooperation and decision making. It was a fairly cool experience.
I've watched videos on colleges that have virtual representations of themselves on Second Life. I think it would be rather enjoyable to have class that way. Of course having access to that kind of high grade computer would be difficult for everyone to achieve. You could certainly participate more noticeably in class to your teachers if they could see you (your avatar).
