So I've got the impression from many forum members that college diplomas are good for nothing. Many rubbish the very idea of going to a college for education. They give the reason that diplomas won't help you land a decent job. But does a university degree assure you the same? I guess not. I've just completed my higher secondary and got accepted into a business administration diploma with accounting speciality (with amazing courses like fraud examination and business simulation) and the college waived off maths requirements too because I got an A+ (95/100) in accountancy.
I prefer a college because of their small class size and individual attention from a teacher. A university teacher may have PhD but the sheer number of students in a university is a huge turn off. Moreover, generic degrees from a university which is generally 4 years long costs like $40-50 thousand adding living expenses to it and the number goes high up the sky. Whereas diplomas are half the price and length. Additionally, university degrees are too deep whereas a diploma from a decent college will impart more practical education which we require in job market.
So I would love to know why people run after universities (while knowing that neither university nor college will provide a guaranteed job) and assume only too-dumb-for-university kind of students get into a college. Are colleges really that bad?
P.S : I intend to provide little more insight into university vs college topic so that prospective students, including me, don't make a decision which they might regret in future.
