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.
I can imagine that there are many reasons why people attend college or university, for example, some people might just not know what else they could do, while others, especially younger ones might just attend university or college because their parents want them to do so. I believe, though, that the three most common reasons are gaining new experiences, preparing for the career and increasing knowledge.
A lot of people attend college or university because they get the chance to expand their knowledge on a subject that they have always been interested in, even though it might not have anything to do with those people’s actual professional goals.
For many students, the primary reason to go to college or university is the fact that a good education is required for the most professions. Therefore, they go to college or university to study the subjects that prepare them the best for their future aspirations.
Besides, there are people who attend college or university to gather new experiences. This often includes meeting a number of different people and making new friends. For many students going to college is the time when they move away from home to a different town or city. This means living by themselfs for the first time and thus, making decisions on their own.
I do attend university myself and the reason why I decided to do so is a mixture of preparing for my future career and having new experiences. I don’t regret having made this decision - because I can already feel that this is going to be the best time of my life!
