Why Go to University?

In every society, there is a need to be educated. The reasons may vary from learning more about Geography to understanding how to set up a profitable small business. Some students may attend school to become more environmentally aware and to learn more about small business administration. School can offer a person knowledge about academic subjects such as Geography. Case in point, a student studying Physical Geography can learn about how mountains are formed, thus developing in him a deeper respect for the environment. Consequently, the student may decide to take such a class in order to make sure that our earth is protected from neglect in future generations. Recognizing the need to earn money, many students attend school so they can learn small business administration. One of my friends from Taiwan is studying in an MBA program right now, so he can return to work in his father's company. This student wants to attend school now so that he can develop the entrepreneurial skills which will help him grow his father's business. In short, these reasons show that many attend school in order to become more valuable, more productive citizens of a society learning more about the world in which we live as well as understanding about how to earn money in business.

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.
