My hometown is an ideal place for tourism because of its multiple beautiful landscapes. However, I have to admit that it is not a favorite destination for students like me to come to due to the scarcity of prestigious colleges or universities. It is really disadvantageous for my hometown. Therefore, I believe that if there are more universities and colleges in my hometown, it will be more attractive to the students, included myself.

To begin with, after our graduation from high schools, most of us often choose to continue our learning process by attending a particular university or college. However, with the lack of good universities, students have to reside temporarily in another city for more suitable schools for them. This may cost us much more money not only for education but also for our livings. Likewise, we may have to encounter multiple problematic situations such as renting a room, finding a part-time job to pay our way, adapting to the new climate, etc. in a completely strange place. What is more, after our graduation, we may not choose to come back but live in the new city instead because we have get used to the life in that city, in addition to the opportunities to be employed in many large company. Therefore, it is really a disadvantage for my hometown because it will lost many potential and talent people integral to its development.

Thus, with the appearance of new prestigious universities and colleges, it is obvious that more and more students will decide to stay at our hometown to study. Also, we can attract eligible ones from other places. With the good living conditions such as fresh air, numerous landscapes, beautiful beach, etc., I believe that these people will want to stay back at my hometown. Consequently, we will have more and more competent and talent work force who will work diligently and effectively to contribute to the development of my hometown. Clearly, if one city, or one country in general, has high education, it will attain high economic performance. Thus, it will be able to develop at a considerable speed, raising the living standard of its residents.

All in all, my hometown need a lot of changes to become a perfect destination, one of which is the appearance of new universities and colleges with high qualities whereby my hometown can attract more students to come to study and thus can make further progress in the future.
