　　University, which is the Garden of Eden for students in the eyes of many people, is still doing the big job that is, making students useful to this world. Though Bill Gates can stand up to speak for his own, everyone can’t deny the importance of university. Other people believe that the young can also be educated through other ways. Yes. All we want is knowledge. All we need to do is to improve ourselves. If so, why not devote your most precious and energetic years to this Garden of Eden, in time you will not regret your deed。

　　Now please let me defend for myself, why I place university on such a holy state better than anything else。

　　From the day the first university was found (Maybe Oxford)， this world begins to define university as the right place where high (top) students should go. First, the professors in university attract us. They just like the Socrates in ancient Greek. Everyone was eager to go where the study is famous. The better the courses are, the better students it produces, the more famous the university will be. Since SAT become prevalent in Chinese mainland, it has attracted many Chinese top students to try on the project. It opens a door for us to U. S. universities: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc。

　　Second, University shapes us into different roles we play in society in the future. If one has the talent in leading people, it probably begins to appear in University。

　　While University is perfect in many people’s eyes, it has been critizing (criticized) for a long time. Many complain that they don’t get useful knowledge during the four years, it’s (It is) no better than four blank years except for balls, parties, and meeting different people. But I must say, whenever you have a goal, you will not lose yourself in university, (插入for) it’s a land of peace, but a land of challenge (vanity fair)。

　　On the other hand, the informal education becomes more and more useful. It furnishes a lot of people’s life, and its knowledge is immediately practiced. I admit its importance, for I myself have seen many universities like this in England, Germany and many other European. But to spot the stuff, university should not be ignored. It can not be placed (replaced). Because the informal education is just a way for getting knowledge, it’s nothing more, but instant knowledge。

　　To Sum up, I prefer the university to be more effective and desirable. It is indeed the case。
