A university education is better than a college education. Give your opinion.

After the SPM examination, many students have to decide their future on which
education to pursue. Some of my friends chose to enroll in college. I decided to study in
Matriculation College as a Pre-U qualification to enter university. My reason is
university education is better than college education. This is because university has a
better education system, more dedicated lecturers and better facilities.

First, university education provides a better education system than college does.
A SPM certificate is enough for you to enroll in a college but to enter a university you
need a Pre-U qualification such as STPM or A-level. This simply shows that it is harder
to study in university as you need some qualifications in which the college does not
demand. Besides, the grading system in university is stricter than that of college. So,
students have to work harder to get a good result. On the other hand, most college
change their grading system, according to the overall result of their students. Moreover,
the syllabus in university is well designed. Besides giving knowledge, it helps to develop
the social skills of students. For example, Students have to do survey on public about
topics related to their study. This ensures that the graduates can have critical thinking
skill and communication skill.

Universities usually hire more experienced lecturers with better knowledge.


According to a research, these lectures possess a Master or PhD degree and some even
graduated overseas. Thus, they have higher level of knowledge which benefits the
students. Besides, most of them have years of teaching experience and so they know how
to guide their students, developing their skills and exploring their potential. For
instance, a Physics lecturer does not only talk on theories. Instead, he teaches the
students to analyze a problem logically. They are also more caring and responsible to
their students. These qualities are hard to seen in college lecturers, who are mostly
bachelor degree holder and work just for money. (very serious generalization here!)

Last but not least, university usually has better facilities, for example, the state-
of-art computers. Unlike that college such as Inti College which is run by private
companies, university has a better management. Thus every single thing in the
university, including the infrastructure is planned and developed well. This is beneficial
to students. For instance, university with advanced laboratories is beneficial to students
as they can learn science better by being explored to the real situation while conducting
experiments. Besides, university with better sports facilities can help the students to
relax their mind. In other words, a better facility means a more conducive environment
for university students.

In a nutshell, university education is better than college education for its better
education system, lecturers and facilities. Despite the growing number of college in our
country, I advice my fellow friends to choose university education so that when you
graduate, you are competitive enough to survive in this ever developing world.
