Advantages to College

These are FIVE advantages to going to college. Many people argue that the student loans and high tuition fees outweigh the opportunity costs for a students time. As a college student, I feel the need to blog about the reasons college is worth the time and money.
1. Social Skills
College helps you meet new people that you didn't know from high school. These people are students just like you with the same goals and objectives. It is not always easy, especially as a freshman, to introduce yourself and be social.
2. Academic Knowledge
Study and go to class are the two rules that every student must follow to gain knowledge. Book knowledge comes second to experience, but without book knowledge it may be difficult to get experience in the field of your choice.
3. Budget Your Time and Money
No one is telling you to go to class and no one is forcing you to spend your time studying, so learn to manage your time. Money is tight for college students. This is why the Ramen Noodle diet is so popular and students get used to living on the bare minimum.
5. Learn Career Skills
Jobs in this day and age want students who can show a degree. Learn useful information that will take you far in your career by studying and paying attention in class. By graduating with a degree you show potential employers that you have what it takes to be successful in life and it shows dedication.
