Many young people go to universities without a clear idea of what they are
going to do. If one considers the various courses offered,it is not hard to see
how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to him. If a
student goes to a university to acquire a broader perspective of life,he will
undoubtedly benefit. Schools often have too restrictive an atmosphere. Most
students would,I believe,profit by the exploration of different academic
studles,especially the "all rounders'with no particular interest.They should
have a longer time to decide in what subject they
want to take their degrees,so that in later life,they do not look back and
regret.
There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best
use of one's time at university. Some students,who are good at a particular
branch of learning, may spend three or four years becoming a specialist,
appearing with a first-class Honors Degree but very little knowledge of what the
rest of the world is all about. Therefore there will have to be much more
detailed information in all fields. On the one hand, a band of specialists
ignorant of anything outside their own subject, and on the other hand, an
ever-increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is
little or no demand in the working world. |
