Why go to university? There are millions of universities, academies, colleges and all kinds of educational institutions around the world They exist because people need them for one reason or another Of course, the major purposes to attend universities are career preparation, which is very important for many people, increasing of knowledge and getting some new experiences I believe that people attend universities and colleges for these and a few other reasons In addition to mentioned above, I would say that young people decide to enter universities or collages because they understand how important education is Knowledge plays essential role in the building of our future The more knowledge person possesses, the more interesting his or her life becomes, the more possibilities to find special place in his or her life appear It is obvious that to build a career in one or the other field is easier when you have a university or collage degree I believe, that thinking about the future and a desire to achieve a good quality of life lead people to universities The other reason for people`s willing to education is a high interest in one particular subject or another For example, some of us like history, or any other science, more then other disciplines and are able to spend hours with checking historical events It is logical, that these people would like to carry on studying the subject on a higher level and, which is very possible, to begin their career in this field The only way for them to achieve the goal is studying in collage or university The third point of a great interest in all kinds of educational institutions is a possibility to meet other young and intelligent people Maybe this is not as essential as mentioned above, but I can say that there are many people who want to attend universities or colleges not only to attain knowledge, but also to find new friends or to be a part of a group with similar interests In the end I would say that every person has his or her own reason for studying The most important thing to me is, that these reasons have existed for ages and, hopefully, would exist in the future
