Q) People attend college or university for many different reasons ( for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
A) People go to college or university with a lot of different objectives. I think this is mainly because people seek to prepare them for a career, learn more about the subject they are interested in, and have diverse experiences.
First of all, most people attend college or university to prepare themselves for a future career. In fact, people are able to get desirable jobs only when they gain the necessary knowledge and get ready for working. Specifically, if people want to be specialists(professionals) in certain field, such as teachers or medical doctors or pharmacists, they are required to study at college or university and get credentials.
Second, people who learn more about what they are interested in go to college or university. While people learn a various kinds of subjects at their elementary, middle, and high school, they get interested in a particular area and then have a desire to improve their knowledge about that area. For the in-depth study satisfying this thirst for knowledge, they decide to learn at college or university. This is also my case. Mathematics was very interesting and fascinating in its exactness and logic through my school years, so I chose to learn it more at university, which led me to pursuit ph.D degree.
Finally, college or university offers opportunities to meet a variety of experience and people and so people go there. In a college or an university, there are many kinds of people who come from different places and even different countries with different objectives. So people can come in contact with diverse thoughts and cultures and see what their lives are like, which ultimately enrich and improve their lives.
On the whole, college or university is a place to meet people’s various desires. People who want to prepare for their career and study a particular subject more, and have new experience can attain their goals by attending a college or university.
