Everyone should go to college.

People might criticize me for making such a blanket statement. And I understand the reasons for some folks who choose not to attend college. But hear me out.  I work with college students with and students without learning disabilities or ADHD. I coach adults who are returning to college to finish up that degree. Some of my students are coming back after academic suspension or probation. Other students are transferring from a 2-year college to a 4-year college. And I still think everyone should go to college. Here are some wonderful reasons to go to college.

A college campus is a great place.

1. A college campus has all these experts all in one place. You can make appointments to talk with researchers and authors. Or you can just drop in during office hours. You can ask them questions about their work or what they think about your path towards the future.
2. A college campus is full of young people from all around the USA and other countries. Full of energy and excitement and hope for the future.
3. On a college campus you have the opportunity to hear excellent music played by your peers or see original art or watch dramas all done by other college students.
4. In college you have hours every week devoted to reading and learning.

5. On a college campus you have access to a university level library and a swimming pool and rec center.

6. In college, If you don’t like your schedule you can change by Christmas.

7. On a college campus you are surrounded by people with the same goal: graduate. Everyone is making step by step progress towards the goal.
