Whether to Attend a Vocational College or a University?

It’s an undisputable truth that virtually all high school graduates will encounter the choices

between a vocational college and a university. And when it comes to this question, students’ ideas

are not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to choose and what to be taken into

consideration, my advices are as follow.

In the first place, we should be conscious of the fact that both of the two choices have its

own superiorities. For instance, a vocational college specializes in cultivating human resources

with practical capabilities; while a university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in

different fields. Then it does follow that high school graduates should have a clear picture of

themselves. That is to say, they should know their merits and demerits and their choices must give

play to their strengths whilst circumvent weaknesses. In addition, interest is the best teacher and

it’s also the premise of learning on one’s own initiative. Thus interest must be taken into

account

because it can not only decide how far one can reach academically and professionally but also

how happy and fulfilled one will be.

In brief, all above just goes to show that there really is no one- size-fits-all answer for the

question. The key lies in a clear cognition, accurate self- positioning and the interest of oneself.

Only then can every one find a right path that works best for us.
