    College is one of the periods of life where there is most growth, both personally and academically. Going to college is a very challenging yet rewarding experience. It brings people out of their comfort zones personally, whereas academically, people get to focus more on what they are good at.

    A four year college degree is important because of the environment we live in. Having a college degree in my perspective means success and prestige in terms of getting a job because of the competitive nature of our society.
