UNIT 11University and Academic Life

a. Read the following passage and find why university education is important.

Windows of Opportunity

University education is an exciting time in your life, a time for an important decision about your future. The process of choosing a school goes beyond the questions of size, location or major. You’re also choosing a new home, new friends, values, role models and a new set of experiences.

The academic, social and international elements of a university education combine to offer you many ‘windows of opportunity’. University education helps you see clearly through those windows – to develop your every talent and ability, to prepare you to step into life and to get ready to face new challenges.

University education offers you a number of activities and facilities to enhance your personal physical abilities. It also gives you a sense of community. The friendships you form are usually the most memorable part of the university experience, and there are many opportunities to cultivate close associations with fellow students and staff at university. Perhaps you will become an athlete, writer,artist, or entrepreneur. Or possibly, you are coming to the university to discover and refine who you are.

University education gives students a global perspective. In this way, you can expand your cultural understanding while fulfilling graduation requirements.
