Is college a good idea?

"If you are worried that your final exam has failed, you can send a signal if you have not forgotten what you have learned.

You can signal if you are happy when the teacher cancels the course. "- Brian Kaplan, to signal

I am very pleased to participate in the lecture by Brian Kaplan. I am pleased that in 2009 he made a speech about the topic of education. In his speech, they insisted that students attending university were most interested in their grades, certificates and diplomas (ie, cues) - the actual education and skills they got were far more than second was. Here is a good summary of this lecture: magic of education

At that time his speech made me feel extreme and crazy. Especially at university. In other words, why do people spend 120,000 dollars and the signal of life for 4 years tells potential employers that they are better than the other candidates?

But then I began thinking about my education. Why am I going to college? Because it is for people who succeed! This is the way you can be sure you get a decent salary. I also reviewed the questions raised by Brian in the 2009 speech. "What do you want to have, the bachelor's degree, or what knowledge and skills you have learned at the university?"

Brian's idea in the lecture changed my view on education. In modern education and school education it is recommended that you concentrate on results, attendance rate, number of clubs participating, prestige.

This is why Praxis is excited about me. We are focused on creating an environment that develops and grows as one. This will lead you to the real world shared by business leaders, colleagues, Praxis employees, and mentors sharing common goals.

Yes, I think the initial college is a good idea. Such decisions include social maturity, but colleges do not need to make friends, anyone who is a year or more college should understand this. I believe that I should challenge myself and accept opportunities for further development in the future. However, university is a big decision and it is important to judge whether you are ready to go to college before enrolling. Based on my personal experience, I know that for most high school graduates, the life I decided to spend in the coming years is very tense. So if you can not be 100% sure where you want to go, we can not recommend early decisions. Over time, the deadline is still completed within a reasonable amount of time, but I think your final decision will benefit you.

In the past, it was common for high school students to visit universities in the fall of their junior high school or high school year. But the times certainly changed. For parents and students trying to make decisions at university, an early visit to the university is a good idea; this is the reason. It is very important that you can feel the environment walking on campus. Students can see themselves as members of the community. We often observe buildings such as dormitories, student halls, classrooms, auditoriums and gymnasiums. The facility provided on campus is an important part of the university's experience.

You may have heard a lot about admissions and graduate interviews, including various aspects of the relative importance of being part of a college admission application. It is advisable to check the interview options of the university in your list. Not only does the Entrance Examination Committee offer a good opportunity to learn about you more like a person, it also gives you the opportunity to learn more about the school itself. Because the interview is subjective and uncontrolled, the interview brings a certain risk to the entry process; in a sense, you are "consideration" of the interviewer. Although this paper is subjective, it can be edited, modified, and you can get second opinion from teacher, friend, family. Meanwhile, the interview is one time only.
