People attend college or university for many different reasons

Modified Version:

Nowadays, it is a trend that students graduated from high school take attending college into their prior consideration. As a general social phenomenon, it must have some virtues behind it.

First of all, we are living in a knowledge exploration time which means we should have a mental preparation for learning through our whole life. Under the pressure of society and career in the future, we need to keep on learning latest technology skills and professional knowledge. Especially for some professions such as architects and engineers. In this situation, we need an environment to prepare for the competition in the future, and college or university is an ideal place. For in the college, there are outstanding professors and advanced laboratories available which brings us access to promote our abilities most effectively. In addition, though academic diploma cannot fully represent the ability of a person, it plays a crucial role in his/her career life. An excellent diploma is one of the preconditions to a good job in most of the situation.

Besides, during college life, we would obtain many friends having the same goal or hobby with us. They would become one of the values in our future growth. We can not only share our experience and feelings but also communicate professional thoughts with them. Admittedly, studying in college or university is a precious experience which would not go through. As we are getting older, we usually have a great many other things which would divert our attention, thus we have less chance to enjoy the pure happiness of learning. In my opinion, as an integrated man, this experience is essential. For instance, it is common that many successful athletes and business people back to school after they have obtained great achievement.

For these reasons above, it is worthwhile for people to attend college or university. And people valuing college experience becomes a trend is no wonder.
