The first thing that perhaps anyone would think about going to college is to get a higher level of education. We may have studied and learned a lot at school, but that’s just the general knowledge that anyone should have. If we want to acquire an increased knowledge, especially the professional knowledge for a particular job or a specialist field of work, university and college would be the most appropriate place. Of course, going to college is just an option, besides that there are many ways to prepare for your future career. For instance, for some reason, namely financial problems, some people can’t attend college but they can still study by other means while they’re working. Still, I think we’ll get the best and proper training and education at college.
Another good reason for going to college is that you can get practical and valuable experiences while studying at college. Going to college is so much different from high school; it’s just like living in a new environment. Everyone is grown-up here, and you’ll also have to learn to act like a grown-up yourself, learn to adapt and take responsibility for everything you do. For many students, since they live in the dormitory, away from their home and family, college will be the new home where they’ll have an independent life. So, this is also where they’ll get to know new people, experience new things and prepare for the life in the future. So, besides the knowledge, it’s also important to prepare and learn what it’s like living in the real world. And the phase during which you’ll spend your life at college can really help you a lot.
Apart from the two reasons above, I think people will find themselves many other good reasons why they should attend college or university. Although it’s not always easy to get through the gate of college or university, the benefit is so obvious and you’ll have an advantage, a really good start in your career with all the knowledge, the experiences and a university or college degree. So if you have a chance, you should really consider entering university or college.
