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. |
Everyone has his or her own reason to attend higher education. Some attend a college or university to learn more. But some might go to college for career preparation. Even some want to go college to pursuit of fun. Among many reasons, I think the reason to attend higher education is to get knowledge and experiences so that they can prepare their own futures. First of all, people go to college or university to learn what they are interested and focus a certain subject more thoroughly. Until high school, students should learn many basic subjects such as mathematics, sciences, languages and arts at the same time. But in higher education, a student is able to focus on a certain major and accumulate higher level of knowledge on it. For instance, a student who are interested biology can just focus on the one subject and learn more about specialized biology matters. A student doesn’t need to worry about music or literature as. Secondly, another important reason to attend higher education is to get new experiences. People learn a lot from not only their studies but also their various activities. For instance, a person who participates in Voluntary Service Club for the disabled might learn the value of helping people and find his or her own meaning from the activity. Or a student who participates Social Issue Debate Club might develop communication skills. Throughout these activities, people find themselves more deeply and develop personal skills. Finally, people can prepare their future from college years based on those two, which I mentioned already. Students prepare their careers with the knowledge and experience. As for me, I majored in Communications and media and it made me interested in many social and political issues. So I tried hard to accumulate a lot of knowledge on my major and other intensified areas. Additionally, I even took an internship for a media and made a formative career goal. To sum up, I believe there are many reasons to attend higher education. Among those, the main reason people attend the college of university is to prepare their own futures throughout the ways of that I mentioned above. |
