Students long to attend colleges or universities for various reasons. In my opinion, the most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences and learn to be independent.

Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive and in order to be employed in the future they have to be well equipped with knowledge and skills.

Also, students go to colleges or universities to have experiences and learn to live on their own. Going to colleges often means having the opportunity to meet with different people from different parts of the country. They learn to communicate and co-operate with each other. For most students, we guess, it is the first time that they have been away from home. They are faced with many new situations and have to learn to solve them independently, making decisions on their own and dealing with various things themselves. So colleges and universities help them grow up.

Surely, colleges and universities become their first choice.

　　学生们渴望上大学存在多种原因。在我看来，最常见的原因是为职业生涯做准备，拥有学会独立的新体验。

　　职业准备对年轻人来说变得越来越重要。对许多人来说，这是上大学的主要原因。他们知道就业市场充满竞争，为了将来能被雇佣他们必须配备知识和技能。

　　同时，学生去学院或大学学会独立生活的惊艳。去学校通常意味着有机会见到来自不同地区的不同的人。他们学会交流和相互合作。我们猜对于大多数学生来说，这是第一次离开家。面对许多新情况，他们必须学会独立解决问题，自己做决定和处理各种事物本身。所以学院和大学能帮助他们成长。

　　当然，高校成为他们的第一选择。
