TOEFL essay: People attend college or university for many different reasons

[Nirodha]

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.

When we think about students of a college or university we can see variety of students. They may have different ages, may be from different countries and they may have different goals. When we take an undergraduate class we can see students from age 18 to age 50 or even 55. This impresses that definitely students have different reasons for attending college or university.

One of the main reasons for attending to a college or university is to get a professional job. Since the competition of getting a job is higher and number of job applicants are getting increased every on e should have to be well educated in order to get a good professional job. For example I can explain about myself. During my childhood I wanted to get a good job which can earn higher salaries. So I studied well and finally I passed out from the university as a graduate in computer science. Then I started my career as a software engineer in a well reputed company with a very good salary. Similarly we can find so many reasons for that.

On the other hand some people attend college or university for getting the exposure of some other professors and students. Some people may attend for university because they need to spend their time for some important thing and they need to increase their knowledge. So even though they have money they attend college or university.

In conclusion, I can state that people attend college or university for many different reasons and not for a same goal.
