It is debatable that getting a higher education plays the most essential role for success in life. Some people believe that Knowledge from a university can be achieved at the other educational institution. However, I strongly believe that it is the most essential for students to get a university education in that we can have the opportunity to meet new people from a variety of backgrounds which help them to broaden their horizon. In addition, it enables students to participate in extracurricular activities.
First of all, getting a university education gives us the opportunity to socialize with new people from a variety of backgrounds and broaden their horizon. Most of the students leave their hometowns and move to bigger cities when they are given admission from a university. They have difficulty dealing with people who are not same with them. Although this can make them confused, they are made to acknowledge the differences between the two different cultures and broaden their perspective. It is more essential things for us who live in this global society to understand different culture. However, people who do not receive a university education tend to hang out with the same people whom they are familiar with. For example, when I was taking on a team project from a business course, our team faced many conflicts because of the discrepancy in our ways of thinking. However, after finishing the courses, all of us regarded it as a great opportunity to meet new people and widen our perspective.
Also, students can enjoy extracurricular activities. The objective of the true education is not only on the delivery of knowledge, but also on providing a variety of experiences. Talents or careers to pursue in the future can be found outside the class. University students have more options for participating in many activities such as joining in a sports club, voluntary group. These activities can show the true and comprehensive aspects of realities. Thus, they would not be trapped in knowledge only from books. For example, according to a research of a Ministry of Education in Korea, 67% of the university students replied that they find their talents via many extracurricular activities in the university. In conclusion, getting a university education allows us to broaden our perspective by making new friends from a different culture and enjoy many extracurricular activities to help them find talents or careers. For these reasons, I firmly assert that university education is the most important part of success in life |
