Why go to universit1

Why go to university?
Nowadays children are always told to study hard so as to attend college or
university. When they were very young, their parents made them believe that
studying hard and then going to college is the only way to their bright future.
As a matter of fact, the children themselves do not really know why they
should attend college when they grow up. And their parents may know the
reasons either from their own experience or from others` around them.
In my point of view, when I was in Senior Middle School, I thought the reason
why I should go to college was that I could experience another way of life----the life in college, for I had heard that college life was very pleasant. I had
imagined that kind of life to be so wonderful that it deserved my efforts.
Another reason is that my parents would be proud of me if I would be enrolled
by a university. Meanwhile my parents thought if I went to college, I would
learn much more and could find a good job in the future to live a good life. In
fact, many classmates of mine at that time hoped that they could leave their
parents to live alone. And to go to college was a good reason for them to go
out. Also there were students who wanted to meet more friends in the college.
After I graduated, now I think as society develops, people`s conception
towards education has developed, too. In their minds, college education is a
necessary stage for a person to experience. Maybe they will not have a good
job after they graduate, or they
will not use what they have learned during college time, they should still
have the experience of university life. During college time, the students can
learn how to get on well with others, how to plan their time, how to study by
themselves and how to live by themselves more than the knowledge in
books. The former is more helpful not only to their future career but to their
future life.
At last, I`d like to say that whatever reason one has to attend college or
university, he should make good use of the time he spends at college. Since
he has got the opportunity to study at college, he`d better try your best to
realize his dream.
