College is one of the greatest institutions in existence. The end goal of college, or any other secondary education institution, is to educate the students and provide them with a well-rounded way to view, interpret and interact with the world and society. On top of that, college is also great for training and gaining the knowledge needed to thrive in the career field of the student’s choice. But, unfortunately all colleges and universities are not necessarily made the same, as some are much more highly respected and considered more prestigious and exclusive than other schools- and every student in the country does not get the privilege of attending these schools- except for the very few who are equal parts lucky and extremely smart, talented and driven.
