Should College Be for Everyone
What is the purpose to be a student in college? Getting into university regarded as the best option after graduating from high school. But not everyone has ability to finish up four-year course of college. Even graduated from university, it doesn’t mean the nice job and perfect income. “Each decade, 30 million graduate from high school but only 6 million receive a college degree.”(Buffenbarger) Part of them can not be accepted by college, and others drop out half way of university. Even though graduated from university, the number of graduated students is over the satisfaction of society， which means there are no enough vacations to offer to graduates.
However, redundant number of these graduates or unqualified graduates will also place the burden to society. For United States, the society needs a large amount of bachelor degree or even higher degree to devote to the society, because contemporary society demand high-educated people instead of labor. But for China, the society need more labor force than white-collar. If a student is not graduated from a famous university, he or she may just be hired to type documents and answer calls.

Teacher even will not know who you are after one semester. So teachers can’t figure out the situation of each student. Teacher even can’t check the homework of every student. In China, the increasing number of students is twice than the increase number of teachers. Not only teacher but also money and physical resource are not enough to offer more and more students. The classrooms are not big enough to afford students and dormitories have no enough space for students. So universities have to expand the space of school. The income of college is only from support of government and tuition of students. College loads money from bank but the limited income even can’t afford the monthly interest. College has no ability to afford huge burden. Because of it, they enroll more students and get more money. Colleges lower the requirements for students. It is a bad cycle. The main purpose of getting into university is to make money. However, now, even you graduated from university, you will face the
