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.


Most of the people enroll in colleges and universities to get closer to their career goal and for getting the perfect job. I am of the personal belief that having a good career is the main reason for people to continue their education after high school, and I think it plays a very important role in students future.

In our current society education is a vital part of every individual’s life and it is very different than it was many years ago. For example, today we have so many new majors in universities which you could not even think about years ago. To illustrate this I can say Advertising, which has became one of the most momentous occurrences in todays world. You can see all kinds of advertising in almost everywhere, like on streets, on the Internet, cell phone applications, etc. Behind every one of these is an expert who had to study to learn it.

In addition, people are getting themselves ready for colleges and universities, because they cannot reach many opportunities without having the right educational background. This is very different than years ago, when people might reach some opportunities, along with their interests, without higher education. something which is not accepted today by society and people anymore.

Another point worth mentioning is that having an educational background relevant to your job helps you and your company that you work for, to improve job performance and give so much value and credit to what you do, and to what people and society expect you to do.
In these modern days, you cannot live with your old books, you have continue learning every single day, maybe not through college, by through the Internet and every other ways. Your information about your job and major should be up to date, and you have to upgrade your knowledge to have a voice in today's society.

Because of the reasons elaborated on above, In my opinion, getting an education, learning new things, experiencing different majors and cultures, and getting prepared for a future career are the main reasons people attend to colleges and universities.

-'Cannot' and 'themselves' are always written as one word.
