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. |
Today, it is truly necessary to continue learning through colleges or universities. In the past, many people tried to get jobs rather than go to colleges or universities because earning money was more important than increasing extra knowledge. However, it is proved that deeper educational background helps people get better jobs with high wages besides that colleges and universities give us a lot of benefits.
One of the benefits of college life is that we can be mature not only academically but also (an adjective needed..) College life is more free than high school life. In the other way to say, there are many decisions to makeby ourselves so we become more responsible for our decisions. Besides, lecturers, unlike teachers, do not care much about our schooling or grades. Naturally we take studies more seriously and become more conscious about our classes. More than that, we get used to the cruel college rules such as we must repeat one semester if we get marks beyond a certain legel for a subject.
One of the special things about universities is that we achive a lot of experiences before our future career. For instance, doctors who studied their major only theoretically can not do operatio. They must practice it using materials that are all provided from universities. Not only that, people can work in hospitals supervised by professional surgeons through universities which is sometimes called 'internship'. This is really helpful and significent for students who are preparing their careers.
Besides,colleges and universities teach us specific areas we are interested in. While we learn 8~9 different subjects with others, we choose a specific major and concentrate on it only. In my case, I am interested in Art and in art area there are a lot of courses like illustration, product design and animation. so we only study what we want to get a related career later. Although it sounds simple it is not that easy. we use same amount of time we spent in high schools adn the studies are deep, touch and challenging.
I am currently preparing for the college life. I feel so happy that I am going to study what I am really passionate about but I am very scared of the college life since i was used to be controled by my parents. However I can not get these three benefits; being maturer, career experience and increased specific knowledge other places than colleges and universities and all the high school graduates go to there for their better future. |
