Why college education is necessary
College education has become an integral part of life. It is the next level of education after graduating from the high school level. University education serves as an opportunity that an individual uses to further their studies and specialize in their career life. Due to some reasons argued for and against university education. Different people have raised the question of the necessity of college education. Apart from having various benefits associated with colleges, there are some of the reasons that try to prove that college education is not necessary. This study analyzes both reason argued for and against university education in order to prove why university education is necessary.

After graduation, people may just see a certificate. But the value embedded in those certificates in enough to change a person’s life forever.
Universities are filled by students from different cultures and nations. Our interpersonal and communication skills are boosted during bonding and interaction with different students. Such skills are important when applied in the real world. The institutions help students in finding connections and form networks necessary for employment or a start-up company. ‘The review comes up with more than 50 recommendations including measures to improve the employability of graduates by reviving sandwich courses and expanding opportunities for internships’(Catcheside).
