why top colleges

This is a wonderful question because we’ve all, at one point, puzzled over why our parents, our peers or our neneks are so focused on top colleges and what it’s that make these institutions so awe-inspiring?



The truth is, wherever you go, whatever college you may attend, you’ll get the same level of education if you put in similar amounts of effort. No matter what, if you don’t take the initiative to seek out your professors at college, you’ll have an incredibly lousy experience; conversely, if you form tight bonds with your professors at a different institution, you’ll come to love your college and truly reap all the benefits that college offers.



You don’t, however, just go to top colleges for the prestige or the social benefits attached to the college’s name; you meet people from all around the world that are as extraordinary and unique, if not more so in some aspects, than you.



And you become immersed in a community that accepts your motivation and dreams. I know this sounds really cheesy, but you really don’t go to top colleges if you’re just planning on telling people who beat you up back in SPM that you’re to college and basically make them work for you later on in life.



Self-confidence and the knowledge that achieving goals is possible and plausible have really rubbed off for a week. Top college isn't for its faculty or its institutions, but for its undergraduate and graduate student body. That's why I wanna go...
