Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense.
Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
| A．Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates? |
| B．Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications. |
| C．Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you. |
| D．During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college. |
E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off.
F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience,
community service or travel.
G.The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody,
especially if you move away from home.
