1Model Answer 1:
People mainly get enrolled in a college or university to achieve the necessary education and degree they require to get
a job or to build a career. Having a good career is one of the main reasons people spending their time in colleges or
universities but there are other reasons as well. The current society and educational structure is far different than it had
been a century back when a self-educated person could gain a good career and parents could arrange private tutors to
ensure their children’s education. But in today’s world colleges and universities are the authority to declare a person to
have necessary education to be ready for the job sector and without the certification from colleges and universities it is
almost impossible for someone to claim a good job.
People are going to colleges and universities because this is the most common way of getting education and they have
no alternatives like the people of past century had. Most people are learning in colleges and universities and getting
themselves ready for the future. The sole purpose of a college or university is to ensure the proper theoretical and
moral education to build the ideal citizens the country needs and this is system which is unquestionably accepted by
the society and people. People who do not have plan to use their certificate to get a job either because they have other
career plans or may be blessed with inherited fortune. They go to these educational institutes to learn the values, ideas,
knowledge and education they require to be good human. In fact education is a border line between a savage and a
good man and this is another reason the society has adopted the idea of education for all and the colleges and
universities are the places to get this education in the current age.
Some people go to universities to get further education to enhance their horizon or to improve their job position & salary.
Others go to the colleges and universities to let the world know that they are education. Funny this may seems, but
many people simply consider the higher education as the status they require to get higher in the society. Colleges and
Universities nowadays offer specialized courses like technical courses or creative courses and many people attend
those courses simply because of their pure interests on these subjects or to gain the knowledge they need.
In my opinion, getting education, learning new things, experiencing diverse cultures and customs, getting prepared for
the future career, improving job position, subject matter interests and social status are the main reasons for people to
attend colleges and universities.
2Alternative Answer 2:
A University offers highest level of education as well as valuable degree required for the students to build their careers.
University degrees are essential for the job market, to be versed in a specialized field or to be prepared for the further
educations. People attend colleges or universities for lots of different reasons. In my opinion three most common
reasons for people to join a college or a university are to prepare for a prospective career, to have new experiences,
and to increase their knowledge. But there are some other reasons like improving the current job position, to be
specialized in a specific subject, to earn a degree to join a job or run a business etc.
Career preparation is probably the primary and most important reason for people to attend colleges
and universities. A college or university degree gives more opportunity to have a full-time and
stable job. In comparison a university degree holder is offered a better job that pays better than
others. The job market is very competitive now a day compared to any other time in past. Careers
such as telecommunication, information technologies etc. need many new employees. At colleges
and universities, students can learn new skills for these careers and increase their opportunities for
the future. In the whole academic years, the students learn not only the theory but also practical
aspects for their future job needs. The universities prepare a structured and coherent syllabus for
the students and without these experience and knowledge it is almost impossible for anyone to
make himself prepared for the job and the knowledge he/she required for the specified job position.
Students also go to colleges or universities to have new experiences. For many, it is their first time
away from home and they have to live among strangers. At colleges, they meet new people from
many different places, races and cultures. They can see what life is from a different perspective.
They can learn to live on their own and take care of them without having their family always nearby.
The students have lots of opportunities to face the real-life situations while staying at a college or
university. They learn to face the harsh situation, learn to treat the superiors, learn how to work to
gain a desired aspiration, learn to work as a team member and many more. In short, colleges and
universities offers so many different experiences that a student cannot get from anywhere else.
At colleges and universities, students have the opportunity to increase their knowledge about
technology, art, history, about themselves and outer world which are impossible to achieve staying
outside the campus. As they decide what they want to study, pursue their studies, and interact with
their classmates, they learn a lot about themselves. They also, of course, have the opportunity to
learn about many subjects in their classes. In addition to the skills and knowledge related to their
career, college students also have the chance to take classes in other areas. For many, this will be
their last chance to study different subjects. Colleges offer much more than career preparation.
They offer the opportunity to have new experiences and to learn many kinds of things.
Many job holders, housewives even businessmen get themselves admitted into universities or
colleges for a diploma courses. These courses are essential in many different perspectives, like: to
learn a new technology (for example: Computer related diplomas), to train up for a new career (for
example: photography courses), or to make them ready for more challenging jobs (for example:
MBA in Agriculture). I think all these are major reasons why people attend colleges and universities.
3Sample Answer 3:
Every human being with an ambitious of getting higher knowledge requires attending colleges or
universities. The main reason of attending universities or colleges may differ man to man.
Someone may aspire to achieve greater knowledge, someone may just want to earn a certificate or
someone might attribute it as a step towards career development.
Whatever the reason people refer to attend universities - I would like to elaborate it as a step which
is necessary for career development to grasp a required level of knowledge. I believe more or less
people attend universities or colleges to gain knowledge. In university level people scatters in
different groups for different subject areas of studies. Someone selects science someone selects
arts. Every human being has their own selection base to get their assumed knowledge which is
mandatory to accomplish their ultimate goal in career development. University or college provides a
new level of experience which develops self-actualization and confidence in human being as we
know the proverb, “knowledge is power". Knowledge gives us strength and endows with skills that
mold our future for betterment. People usually select their career path before entering university or
college courses, for example an aspirant doctor selects medical subject as university course and
therefore they join medical college.
Similarly a future entrepreneur joins business school to study business in university level. I would
like to elaborate before enrolling in universities or colleges we decide our future goal. Once our
future goal is set we thrive to achieve it. I would like to illustrate whatever the reason people may
attributes with university selection, it is always refers to achieving new experience, knowledge or a
process to start a career. Well, it is sometime different for few people who has different ambitions
but studying different subject matter unrelated to their goals. People attend universities and
colleges for further education to ensure their job promotions. There are no alternat ives to the
colleges and universities to get higher degrees and thus people attend there to get the education
they need to secure jobs. Interest is a subject is another reason people go to the higher educational
institutes.
Sometime few people attend universities as a tradition which has been referred as mandatory by
society or family. A mere certificate is enough for them rather a means of gaining greater
knowledge. Though, it is a rare case which represent a niche segment but as a whole we human
being usually attend university or college as a hope of achieving greater understanding, new skill
so that we can construct a good career in future. At the end it is essential to pronounce that
whatever the reason we believe behind attending universities or college’s maximum people take it
as a step towards a better future to educate ourselves with knowledge.
4Model Answer 4:
College education is a highly revered benchmark around the world. In many countries, without a
college level degree, a citizen is not considered eligible for state jobs. People attend colleges for
many reasons but career preparation is the most important goal among them.
Most students enroll in colleges for bright career prospects and they study professional and job
oriented courses. If achieved successfully with threshold scores, these courses increase industrial
employability of learners by training them with the skills industries need. For example, many
companies organize direct campus selection programs in colleges, offering professional courses, to
hire ready to utilize resources with rewarding salary packages. To add to this, in many cases,
based on education, employees get different remuneration for the exact same job, and college
education degrees play pivotal roles in accelerating promotion processes too.
On the other hand, in addition to scintillating future career opportunities, university education also
offers many new experiences. These experiences include migration to new countries, befriending
new people, working while studying, and, most importantly, learning to adjust with people. If we
take a look at foreign students’ data across Europe, it is eminent that around 20 % students in
Universities are from Asian countries. These experiences burgeon adaptability skills to pursuers
and help in turning future paradigm citizens.
Some people also attend higher university courses to enhance knowledge. Students under this
section mostly pursue challenging master and doctorate degrees in their fields. Most of these
learners turn researchers and help the progress of the world. Some governments offer enticing
whooping packages to the best minds to convince latter to select this study stream.
Finally, considering all reasons to attend colleges or universities, it is clear that the paramount
reason is career growth. However, 'gaining new experiences' and 'enhancing knowledge' are also
prodigious reasons.
5Sample Answer 5:
All the human beings are of different nature and similarly their interests are not the same. A few
love to sing while others like to listen the music. Same way people attend the colleges and
universities have different respective prospective or purposes. Mainly people go to such places for
their better career which dramatically affect their future life, to gain the knowledge and to be a good
human being, while some attend colleges for enjoyment and to get rid of their homes. But I feel that
Colleges and universities should be regarded as a place of worship which give us sense of good
living, spread knowledge and enlighten our life from darkness.
First of all, if we discuss about rich parent's youngsters, most of them come to the colleges for their
time pass and making ruckus in college. All the day they make havoc everywhere. Study is just a
trivial matter for them. They have no worries about money wastage or future scope. Hence such
students get enrolled in colleges for their own willingness to fulfil their ambitions of entertainment
etc., but it never means that all are alike. If we look on other side of the coin, there are some
students who are even not able to fill their college fee due to lack of sources but they are dedicated
to learn and work hard. They want to study hard to become a successful person. Such students
attend the colleges and universities for studying mainly, because they just focus on their motto of
life. Enjoyment and other activities are meager to them.
Secondly , another type of students are their which we can say in middle class family students
which can be of mixed behavioural response regarding admission in colleges as either for making
friends , fun and study also. By participating in different college events they can fill their life with
enthusiasm and charm, because they are totally not focused for only study or totally for enjoyment.
Hence they are involved in overall college or university atmosphere.
On the behalf of above, it did not mean that these particular types of students are liable strictly to
respective activities in colleges but majority of them are in such manner. In the end we can
conclude that colleges and universities are for social and individual wellbeing of all. They help to
build our character. Every student can get the characters of bonhomie, candid behaviour, bright
future and spreading life by proper studying sincerely and and overall body growth by participating
in extra co-curricular activities of college.
Sample Answer 6:
A complete consideration of people's views about whether to attend colleges or universities is difficult to
present because they are so varied. Some would believe that continuing their education is a brilliant
way of obtaining the best of both worlds gaining new acquaintances and securing a higher level of
education, which might in the future, pave the way to a better job. I have developed my own
perspectives as well. There are 3 reasons why I'm convinced that people decide to attend colleges.
One absolutely cardinal reason is the fact that universities offer an opportunity to intensify knowledge in
a particular field of your interest. On the contrast, high school educations tend to focus more on a board
but relatively shallow understanding of various subjects. Thus, the option of gaining expertise
universities offer is certain to catch the eyes of students.
The second reason is rooted in the fact that humans are social animals. Therefore, when surrounded by
a group of friends all applying for admission to colleges, one might feel the impulsive urge to join. It is
considerably hard to be persistence in one's own beliefs and perspectives.
Equally essential to the previous two reasons concerning why people choose to continue their
education is that a college degree is no longer considered to be "higher education", but rather "basic
education". In this day and age, numerous companies regard bachelor degrees as the most basic and
foremost requirement. When education level determines the chances of acquiring a job, it leaves you
little choice but to keep on studying.
By way of conclusion, whatever your choice may be, it is essential to think through all aspects before
making a final decision.
7Model Answer 7:
People attend colleges and universities for various reasons such as gaining more knowledge and
enhancing their skills. In the universities people learn many new ways to learn things and improve their
talent. Students after completing their schooling or under graduate courses opt for higher education in
universities because of various circumstances around them.
Firstly, they prefer education in reputed universities in order to achieve their goals and dreams in life.
People try to do their higher education for their career enhancement such as for promotions in the
company they work. Usually persons with high level of knowledge in any field will be paid more than the
other people with limited skills. This is also a major reason for a person to prefer higher education. For
instance in the case of an Information Technology professional a person with higher level of knowledge
and skill in designing a software will be paid more than a person who tests the developed product.
In addition to that people pursue their education in universities in various other countries for the sake of
exposing to the new environment, culture, customs and learn how to mingle with people. This scenario
is generally seen in students trying to do their business degree. Students come know about the new
trends across the world and learn how to deal with various kinds of businesses and improve the
economy of their country. Moreover, learning the ways of interacting with the people is a good sign of a
healthy society. On the other hand people not only attend the universities for gaining knowledge and
improving their job position but also out of their immense interest in a particular field and curiosity to
invent new things in that specific field.
In my point of view I think people attend universities and colleges for the purpose of gaining more
knowledge, experiencing various cultures and customs, improving their job position and their intense
desire and passion towards a particular field.
8Sample Answer 8:
Certain people think they attend colleges/universities to gain knowledge where as some other people
think to prepare for their career. Another set of people prefer to attend college to get new experiences.
Universities dictate the society with the values present in education .some people prefer to attend
college to gain knowledge and apply their knowledge in their day to day life .These people choose
university to increase their knowledge only which is useful to the society and they are least bothered
about the jobs or job market. Universities should produce knowledge based professional but not job
seekers. People who got sufficient knowledge can overcome any issue in their daily life as well as
career. My friend, sham came out of Hindu university with sufficient knowledge never worried about
career. He can easily transoms from one field to another with his vast knowledge what he gained from
university.
There is other side of the coin always. Some people prefer to attend universities to increase their career
chances as they are so much interested in good profitable career. And companies also prefer certain
universities only to recruit for their openings. I selected Nehru University to do my post graduate in
computers to attract top IT giants and it really worked for me. Some other set of people choose
universities to get new experiences and enhance their knowledge or to get suitable job for them. Ram,
one of my state ministers choose university to get experience in student politics and got successes in
main politics also.
In conclusion, I prefer to attend college to gain knowledge and not only career or experience only.
People who gained knowledge in their core area always get successes in any other area.
9Model Answer 9:
Universities and colleges always play an important role in the wellbeing of individual as well as the
wellbeing of family and the whole nation. However there are different type and status of people who are
attending colleges and universities for different purposes.
Each university and collage has an ultimate goal is to convert knowledge and experiences from past
generation to present generation, and preparation a good citizens for the society. A well-educated
individual and nation can face any challenges of the world.
People going universities and colleges are getting different experience for life in a good way and
socially accepted ways. They meet students from different cultural, religious, race, color and languages;
in addition they can get information from all people they have met in their student life. And they are
getting new knowledge and information from teachers and books.
And in practical life they implement this knowledge and experience for the betterment of nation. Beside
this peoples attend colleges and universities getting a degree which enable them to spend prosperous,
future and save their future getting ruined. Without college or university degree it is impossible to get a
good job in any reputable organization.
My opinion is also the same the main purpose people attending colleges or university is gaining
knowledge and experience which enable them to lead a successful life, make them sound and mature
who can take a right decision for themselves.
10Sample Answer 10:
It’s true to say that people take admission in college and universities for higher education with different
intentions. Over all, it depends on the economical and social status of countries. According to my point
of view, in today’s world most of the people get higher education to earn money, especially the
residents of underdeveloped or third world countries like Pakistan. In this essay I will elaborate my view
with reasons and examples.
First, if we see in low income countries like Pakistan, where life is striving for the basic needs like foods
and shelters, most of the youths of Pakistan take admission in subjects like M.B.A, Information
Technology and other science subjects for better scope of having better careers and earning good
money. Their basic needs for survival outweigh other ethnic values of education. Very few students take
interest in arts and other non technical education.
While somehow in the west or developed countries where government ensures basic needs of the
people, have a different reasons for people to attend colleges and universities. Most of students in west
still follow the true meanings and reason of education. They take admission in universities to increase
their skills, knowledge and characters. That is the reason of progress in research and development. On
the balance, I must say that humans of all over the globe have lost the true meanings of education
except in very countries in the west. Man has increased the needs and demands for more comfort or for
other reasons, but, it is the economical situation of nations which defines the trend of education move
towards money or moreover towards aesthetics.
On the balance, I must say that people of all over the globe attend the schools and universities to
increase their scope to earn the better income. We have lost the true meanings of education. Lust for
money has taken over the thrust and great values of knowledge. It is one of the proofs that now the
world rarely produces the great characters like Rumi and Newton.
Model Answer 11:
"From here, light and sacred draughts." – The motto of Cambridge University tells people a university is
the place where enlightenment and precious knowledge is awarded. Since the establishment of the first
university, it has been great honour to be accepted. Today, universities and colleges are much more
accessible and therefore, more people prefer to receive a higher education. Several reasons are
presented in this essay.
First of all, a large proportion of people study there for the purpose of a degree, which is beneficial, or
even necessary for job application. With a higher degree, applicants are more likely to find a better
position. However, with increasing number of students pouring in, the quality of education may be
reduced, particularly by students with little eagerness for study.
Acquiring knowledge appears to be the main reason for most students. A university or college is
believed to be the most ideal place to learn meaningful or useful knowledge. Through libraries,
knowledge and ideas of people all around the world can be shared. On the other hand, teaching
standard is much superior to high schools. Thanks to these abundant resources, a student can dive into
the ocean of knowledge freely.
Nonetheless, the real essence of a university is not knowledge itself, but the methodology of learning.
When we scrutinise the synopsis of any programmes, those structures seem to be similar, which
without any exceptions, direct to the ability to learn. Perhaps this is the reason why companies have
preference on a higher degree. Good ability of learning accompanies one with his whole life. Hence,
studying in a university is undoubtedly a precious experience.
After the analysis above, it turns out that the reasons of receiving higher education are tightly bound to
each other. An opportunity of secondary or tertiary education is advantageous in every aspect.
Consequently, numerous people are attending universities and colleges.
12Sample Answer 12:
In schools we are completing our primary and secondary education. Colleges or Universities are there
to provide third stage of our education level. Only few people getting opportunity to attend to their third
level of education. The reason why people attend to colleges or universities may dif fer among person to
person.
Some people attend to colleges after leaving from school is to improve their skills such as vocational
qualifications. This is a kind of career preparation for their life. They will learn new skills and new
knowledge on vocational trainings such as, dress makings, carpentry, welding, aluminium fittings, auto
mobile, phone repairing, electrical and electronics are some technical training provided in some
colleges.
Some are attending to Universities to follow degree or diploma in education, agriculture, medicine,
engineering, bio chemistry and etc. These are to shape their future career by increased knowledge on
particular field. Many of these courses are teach as full time in government organizations and part time
in many private organizations. Nowadays education became a competition, since many are attending to
universities and colleges. Each person need to obtain a degree or diploma has become an essential
element to find a good job. The educational qualification is the base to provide many good jobs in
reputed firms and in higher positions. Therefore, many people attend to these places to improve their
educational qualifications to get a good job. Other than this, educated people earn higher salary than
uneducated people. Nowadays money became as a life. To live a comfortable life, people try to improve
their educational qualifications in order to find well paid positions.
Educated people become prestigious position in the society. Others follow educated people’s value,
rules and standards. People wanted to respect by others. Therefore, they need to get graduation,
post-graduation, Masters’ degree, Honor, Doctorate and etc. Mentioning their educational qualifications
behind their name is a prestige for many people. Therefore, some people attend to Universities or
Colleges, to improve their prestige. Some want to spend the time productively. If a bachelor need to
spend the weekend, could be spend with their friends. Some bachelors attend to weekend classes to
complete a degree before they engage in important responsibilities in life.
Therefore, why people attend to colleges or universities may give many answers as per the need of the
people. There may be one reason or many reasons behind the fact why they do this.
13Sample Answer 13:
To face the period of development, as people, we have to make competition with others to get what we
want and what we need. One thing that people can do is try to get high education. Nowadays people try
to develop their ability in collages or university. In reality attending in university will help us to become
great people in the future. There are two reasons why people have to attend collages or university, such
as to reach the desired level and to satisfy their life.
Firstly, becoming a success person is a dream to all the people in this world. To reach our desire,
definitely we will have to do something. We should make a sacrifice so that it happens. “Better
education, Better Life”, is a motivation quote and will help us to build our spirit. People wi ll have huge
opportunity if they have good education. In my experience there are some of my uncles who have great
job because they have higher education and degree. In reality all companies need people who have
high qualification related to their education to join their company.
Secondly, in life people need something that will make them satisfied. Satisfying in life is an important
thing in people’s life, which can make them happy. Having high qualification in education and having
good job will make people useful for others. For instance, a child in a family when becomes a success
person, s/he can make the parents proud and can give them happiness. They can also go to some
tourism destinations for vacation or buy a house or invest for future, and so on.
In conclusion, attending in college or university is important because it will help us to face the period of
development, to face how beautiful the world is, and most significantly: we can make people proud of
us.
14Sample Answer 14:
In recent times it has become a wide spread trend that colleges or universities are not just about
education and teaching, but it has become a much broader concept in comparison to older times.
People nowadays consider attending colleges or universities for many different reasons and it is quite
common that people consider attending colleges or universities as a general trend, though there are
many other reasons behind this.
Over the years education has changed and evolved itself to the changing trends and viewpoints of
people and so has the concept of students of education and places where education is offered namely
colleges and universities. Student's these days not only look for the quality of education offered but their
view varies from facilities offered, the extra-curricular activities offered and the type of student culture
that exist within the college. A student joining a college these days not only plan on just graduating out
but also assess his options or scope to improve his other talents, thus he plans on nurturing them and
improving it further. For example, one of my friends recently joined for MBA in one college but the final
deciding factor over other college's was, the sports facilities offered to him at his present college. Earlier
times it was just about the quality of education offered and nothing else.
By this I conclude by saying, by changing times the system in place gets modified or adaptive to the
view points of the students which lies not just on educational perspective but for other reasons too.
15Sample Answer 15:
A college is a place where learning processes take place and go beyond the stereotypic academic
learning experience. People attend colleges or universities for a lot of reasons which range from
academic, social and other personal reasons. In my opinion, one should not limit his/ her college days
to just learning academics and should take the opportunity to learn whatever good knowledge comes
his/ her way.
First and foremost, a college or university is meant to increase a person in academic knowledge. For
example, a student who gets admitted into a university to study medicine should first of all learn about
the different diseases and know how to treat them appropriately. As such, a person learns how to be a
good doctor.
Secondly, a college or university prepares one for the career an individual is going to face in the near
future. It teaches what to expect in a person‘s line of study. For instance, while I was a medical student
in the university we were educated on the career prospects of a medical doctor, the various places we
could work and what would be expected of us when we eventually get there. In addition, an individual
mingles with the different people from different social strata, ethnicities, localities and race while in the
university.
Therefore, you get to learn about different cultures and values. For instance, my roommate in the
university was a Sudanese. I learnt about different Sudanese dishes and also picked up a few Arabic
words from him.
In conclusion, the university is not only a place for academics. You get prepared for the career ahead
and also learn some social values and cultures. One should be able to utilise the few years in the
university to pick up as much relevant knowledge as possible.
16Sample Answer 16:
College and university play an integral part in student's life for various personal and professional
reasons. Whether it can the continuation of higher studies to get a desired job or for creating a
network with friends at social level through college life, it is important to get admitted in these
institutions.
College life offers kind of experience where people continue their career prospects upon a
particular field where there are diversified list of options to choose from. Nowadays, as compared
with earlier years we have more options because of which there has been a surge in competition
level as well. For instance, for a commerce background student there were limited options like
being chartered accountant or company secretary etc. Whereas today we have lot more options
including these to sustain at fast pace world.
As students we make ourselves much more matured through this phase of life. Students at their
college level want to experience a fun part as well like making new friends, bunking classes, pulling
each other’s leg and etc. It is a kind of life which people want to experience before they get into
adult phase of their life. For example, most students tend to make their girlfriends at the college.
Whether it can be their craze or kind of peer pressure to have one as they cannot resist themselves
when they see others are having one.
Not only this, people even get jealous of their pals when find a beautiful woman with someone else
and wish they could also have one. Thirdly, college life brings us plethora of new experiences
during this phase of life. It is during this period we learn how to balance our life both on professional
and personal front as well. We also learn how to accept our failures and work on it. In addition to
this, we try to find a hidden talent in terms of career perspective as well.
To sum up, college life plays a significant role towards the building up of next phase of life. As i t
focuses on career prospects, increased knowledge and various factors to look on, it is important for
each individual to spend time in a college or university.

and got successes in main politics also.
In conclusion, I prefer to attend college to gain knowledge and not only career or experience only.
People who gained knowledge in their core area always get successes in any other area.
