请简要阐述为什么学生们渴望上大学。
Students long to attend colleges and 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 and universities to have experiences. 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 by themselves. They have to learn to be independent, making decisions on their own and doing many things themselves. So colleges and universities help them grow up.
Surely, colleges and universities become their first choice.
