What is college?

Attending college, especially in today’s world, is very important in being successful. Stats prove that students who attend college and earn a degree are more likely to get a good job then student who do not attend college. However, college is much more than just an institution of learning. As a freshman at Southern Connecticut State University, I’m finding out that there are many more benefits from colleges other than learning. There is a plethora of sports and clubs available to students. By joining a sports teams or clubs, you get to meet new people and make friends but most important to get involved and try new things.    
Another important thing for students to do in college is to expand their comfort zone. When students first come to a college’s it can be a little scary at first so they stay inside their “bubble” or comfort zone. During my first weeks at southern Connecticut State University I’ve learned that it is very easy to expand my comfort zone simply by trying the many opportunities offered to all students.
 For me, college is an opportunity to expand my knowledge and to learn to manage my time. While at Southern Connecticut State University I hope to get involved in many activities on campus in order to meet new people and also most importantly expand my comfort zone. By becoming a well involved and educated individual I hope to leave Southern with everything I need to know to live a successful life.
