What is the most important thing about college?

Hi there. I think college is a place where you can get out of it whatever you want to. It's a great place to meet new people and exchange ideas. Sometimes you are thrown into situations (as in dorms) where you have no choice but to meet and learn about new people. And, with an open mind, that can be a lot of fun.

So, I think the most important thing about college is being open to new experiences. It's a place to learn, and that can be about subjects you study, people you meet, places you go, and yourself. Maybe that is the most important thing--you learn about yourself. And, you learn how to LEARN. You learn skills that will help you inform yourself about anything that interests you, for the rest of your life. You learn how to be a constant student.

In college, you learn how to make decisions for yourself (what classes to take, where and when to eat, when to study and when to take a break and have fun). And that can really help you understand yourself and what matters to you, and how to apply your own interests and talents to a career--to a happy life.

I don't know if this answer was helpful. But I hope so! I wish you all the best in whatever you do.

In my opinion and life experiences there are a few important things about college for you to consider.

As someone who went to college at the first time at 35, I would have to say make sure you know why you're going first. Decide what you want to do as a career and don't just go to college for the sake of going to college. There's no point in wasting your time and money just to get a piece of paper that may not even help you get a job. You can be successful in many fields without a degree and some careers where you can start working and then get a degree later if you want to advance, sometimes your employer will even help you pay to take classes. Also, if you aren't planning on getting into a competitive program right out of high school take a year off to travel abroad before you start.

College is important because companies see you as being disciplined enough to get a degree. Experience is also just as important so if you can do internships that would help tremendously with getting into the career of your choice.
