Almost a third of university courses are still combining face-to-face teaching with online learning in 2022-23, data gathered by the BBC suggests.
Data from 50 of the 160 universities surveyed shows 28% of courses are being taught in a hybrid way, compared with 4.1% in 2018-19 before the pandemic.
One student said he feels like he is paying thousands of pounds per year for a "glorified streaming service".
But an official says many students appreciate the flexibility and freedom.
