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.

Nowadays, people are working hard for attending college or university. There are several reasons that people are eager to acquire higher qualifications. 

First of all, in my opinion, the most important reason is to gain competence to live a better life in the future. Competition in our life has become more and more drastic, and even a junior position will attract hundreds of candidates to apply for it. Only those who have a good educational background and general knowledge can get a better working environment and salaries. So, we should attend college or university for enhancing competence. 

Second, attending college or university can change our life. For example, I am a student from the lower class. I am one of the few people who can attend college or university. Most of those who have not studied in college or university find a job early in their hometown. But, I have taken higher education and got a chance to choose a better career path.  A good education offers opportunities to change my life. 

The third reason for attending college is to gain knowledge. Studying is a so interesting thing that it makes our life rich and colorful. It broadens our vision by informing us of lots of the latest technology that we may not only learn from our daily life or experience. On the other hand, by attending college or university, you can learn the knowledge or skill necessary for your future work. 

In conclusion, attending college or university is key to enhancing our competence and making our life better. “Knowledge is power”. All of those are due to the knowledge learned in a college or university.  It is deserved for people to work hard when they were students.
