People study in college or university for many different reasons. I think the most important reason
is to gain more knowledge and learn more skills. Of course, there are also many other reasons that
people study in college such as to get more friends, and increase one`s self-confidence.

These days, most jobs require people who are educated and have good job skills. Therefore, the
people who want a good job have to study hard and at least graduate with a high education.
Furthermore, as technology advances all over the world, more and more education is required of
people.
Some people who study in college or university want to make more friends and increase their
interpersonal skills. They enjoy their lives in university or college and tend to socialize a lot. They
can meet more people who have the similar interests with themselves. They can go to uni ball
after school and make more friends who they trust.

The people who graduate from college seem more confident in our community. These people are
more respected by society. Many people want to be respected and to be important by family,
friends, their bosses, and others in their lives. They find that most of them can confidently talk and
do their jobs as they are more educated. Therefore, most people want to get the confidence
through the university or college study.

In today`s society, people need more knowledge and skills to be adapted. The university and
college study is a good way to achieve this.

In China, more and more people try their best to attend college or university. What are the
reasons that make people long for it?
First of all, in my opinion, the most important reason is to gain competence to live a better life in
the future. Competition of our days has become more and more drastic, and even a very simple
job or low position will attract hundreds of candidates to apply for it. Only those who have a good
education and general knowledge can gain better work. So, we should attend college or university
for better competence.

Second, attending college or university can change our life. For example, to myself, I am a student
from countryside. I am one of the few people who can attend college or university. Most of those
who have not studied in college or university go to work early in a small factory in a small town or
on a farm in their hometown. Just because I have taken higher education, I can get better chances
to study or work in the capital of our country where a lot of people want to go to. Why? Good
education gives me chances to change my life.

The third reason for attending a college is to increase knowledge. Study is a so interesting thing
that it make our life rich and colorful. It expands our eyesight by informing us with lots of new
things what we cannot gain from our common life or experience. On the other hand, by attending
college or university, you can learn the knowledge or skill necessary for your future work.

People attend college or university for various reasons. Some may attend for new experiences,
and others may think about other things. What I have mentioned is just very few of them.

Mr.Taoxingzhi, the most famous educator in China, once said: the biggest misfortune in one’s life
is that one does not receive a uniniversiy education. Needless to say, a university degree often
helps a person achieve his goal with more ease. However, do we attend university just in pursuit
of a degree? Does a university only provide us nothing benefieial besides a paper-made diploma?
As far as I am concerned, we enjoy a university education in the following aspects which
attribulates us to a university education:

Firstly, with the knowledge learned in a university,we will have a deep understanding with our
society. It is ture that genuine knowledge comes from practice, but it can not be denied that
genuine knowledge, tells us how to practise. A thorough study in a college or university, of course,
enables us to realize how the society works and how to cope with certain problems arising from it
in a more efficiently, more skillful way.

Second, an university education usually make it possible that we acquire a decent job. Because of
an accomplishment of a four-year study, it is not difficult for us to find a good job in most cases.
How can we imagine that a graduate majoring in astronomy has to be a vendor in the street!
Undoubtfully, he/she should sit in his/her labortory, making a reseach on aircraft on a
computor.Obviously, a university education assures him/her a decent job.

Last, but not the least, we can help others much better if puttiing what we learn in a university
into use. A university education corrects our values, enhance our skills, and broad our horizons.
With those, we are moe capable of giving a hand to those who are in need of help than before.

“Knowledge is power”.When achieving a degree in a university, we can get a better
understanding of the society, find a decent job in an easy way, and help others better. All of those
are due to the knowledge learned in a university.

People attend a college or a university for the following reasons, to acquire knowledge which is
necessary for a career, to contribute to the society, and to experience life.

Firstly college education is a necessary step for a person who wants to start a career in science
and technology areas. If a student wants to become a scientist, it is important for him to go to a
science school; if he wants to be an engineer, an engineering school is the best place for him.
There is no other place than a college where a student can get sophisticated education in order to
be qualified to become a professional in a specific area.

Secondly, a college education can benefit both the society and the student. By attending college
one can get himself prepared for and contribute to the society, which seems to demand advanced
knowledge more and more. One the other hand, as knowledge plays a very important role in
today’s economy, it has also become the capital and asset of the person who owns it: a college
education can bring wealth not only to the society, but also benefit the individual who processes
it.

In addition, college education is a wonderful experience in one’s life. Only in a college one can be
taught by the finest scholars and meet with the most intelligent people in the nation. Education
can also bring happiness to the student. When a student has conquered a difficult mathematical
problem, he savors the joy which learning has brought to him, and feels that he is the happiest
man in the world.

Of course, learning in a campus does not mean as much for everybody, but it does mean a lot to
me. I was brought up in a knowledge-respecting family. My farther is an engineer and my mother
is a teacher in a primary school. They are both university graduates. My father, being the most
influential person in my life and the son of a poor Chinese farmer, did change the destiny of his
own by learning hard to earn a university degree. Therefore he firmly believes that “knowledge
can change one’s destiny and university is the best place to achieve one’s goal”. Of course this
influenced me. I strongly believe that attending university is the best choice for me. I do not have
a bit of hesitation to attend a university.

Why do people need to attend colleges or universities? Different people have different answers to
this question. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have
new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.

Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the
primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they
can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information
technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.

Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having
the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going
to college is the first time they`ve been away from home by themselves. In addition, this is the first
time they`ve bad to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their
knowledge of themselves.

Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their
knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will he their last chance for a long time
to learn about something that doesn`t relate to their career.

I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have
new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.

Now days, more and more people are trying to attend college or university. Different people do so
for different reasons. Some typical reasons are new experiences, career preparation and increased
knowledge. In my opinion, it is the fast developement, almost explosion, of our world that make
people to consider attending college or university.

People would usually get bored when they focus on one field for a long time. For this reason, they
go to college to pursue experiences in new areas. We often hear that an electrical engineer went
to a university to study art or music. With the new experiences, they expand their ken. Maybe
some good ideas would jump out during their daily work.

As for the young, they attend college for career preparation. Not only could they get knowledge
needed for their future work, they could learn how to think and how to solve questions. The
projects students attended are very like their future work.
