I strongly believe that everyone should attend university. Entering university is at the same time a so much promising step into a world of opportunities as long as it is accompanied by a strong will and a desire for distinction. The quality and diversity of opportunities and the spread spectrum of choices higher education can provides us is a core motive for everyone intending to attend university. I will try to examine below the specific reasons for attending university according to which I think are the most common viewpoints nowadays
First let us look at what a person can typically gain from a successfully study at a university. It is a diploma or/and a degree. This is by default leading to a more distinct, respected, and well-paid profession. Nowadays unemployment crisis is troubling not only the poor countries, but the developed western countries as well, so the ease of finding a job may play an important role in the decisions people are making.
Another reason is that people want to get more education. University provides higher level of education and has all these recourses and facilities for people who crave knowledge. Learning anything is the key to everything that we want to improve. So, higher education helps us widen our understanding and increase our intellectual ability.
Apart from the points I made above there is also a well known fashion all over the world that is called career preparation. Many people attend university in order to seek either a career in science and technology, or a career in business. It is believed that the ideas, opportunities, qualifications, in-depth knowledge, and expertise in science areas often make attending university imperative. Many times a three-year study at university may only be the beginning of a sequence of moves someone can make in order to accomplish what he thinks best for his career.
Finally I cannot oversee the fact that many times studying at university is also means living in a city far from home. New responsibilities always appear but they do not become serious drawbacks. In contrast, the new sense of freedom and independence a young man can experience or thinks he will is thought of as something of great importance. One thing is for sure though, there is chance for everyone in the community of a university to meet people, make new friends and know individuals of great importance.
Last but not least, I wish to say that the purpose of university is to harvest knowledge and to being educated. So it is obvious that everyone can find a purpose for attending university.
