People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge).

Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

It is generally accepted, that going to university is the final and most essential part of people's education. Without it, not many could cope with the competition for getting a prestigious and well paid job, for example. Of course, there could be many possible reasons for attending college or university - from doing a degree to experiencing new things, emotions, etc.

Firstly, the main reason for going to university is to get a higher education and to gain knowledge in certain area. For example, a popular belief is that if you do not have a degree, you will not receive the future job and due to fulfilling your dream, you definitely have to go to a college or university and expand their knowledge so that they could be prepared for a career later.

Of course, there are people, who go to university only because their parents made them do it, not because they are concerned about their future or they want to continue their education.

On the other hand, the fun, the parties and the freedom can attract many people. Often they want to go far away from home only for the possibility to be free and to do whatever they want. They are excited not because they are going to learn something new, but because they are meeting new people, experiencing new things.

Going to university or college is an important decision, which we, in specific moment of our life, have to make. Whether we are motivated or not, we should think firstly about our future.

thank you in advance :P

You can also mention the negatives of university or college.

Such as fees.

...there could be many possible reasons for attending college or university - from doing a degree to experiencing new things, emotions, etc.(right after this sentence, before ending the first paragraph you should add a THESIS STATEMENT that tells the main idea of the whole essay.

Simplify:
Of course, there are people who go to university only because their parents made them do it, not because they are concerned about their future or they want to continue their education. ---I took out one comma and one word.

You are doing very well! Keep practicing. The writing has some errors, but you do a great job.
Going to university or college involves important decisions, which we, in specific moments of our lives, have to make. Whether we are motivated or not, we should think firstly first about our future.

Just use "first." I don't think firstly is a good word.

:-)
