Y et while a higher income, better standard of living, and technological literacy might be the most obvious reasons for attending college, they are not necessarily the best, the most reliable, or the most enduring. There are good non-financial reasons to go to college. First and foremost, college can be a great place for the students to learn about themselves and about society. College is a place where students get a safe chance to mature even as they pursue a degree and a potential career and where visionary ideas go to be challenged, grow, and mature. Next, students may develop self-independence in college, which is essential to their future development. Being away from their own home and living in a dormitory, students often get their first chance at learning to be on their own. In addition, college offers other learning opportunities, too. Much of what students gain in college may come from learning outside the classroom and from participating in campus organizations. All in all, obtaining a college degree isn't just about making more money . As for society, no one that values freedom can afford to underestimate, even for an instant, the value of higher education.
