opportunities, because post – secondary
education will alow us to get skills and tools
that we will need to help us prepare for a
good career. In addition, job opportunities are
increasingly broad and we can also add new
relationship or conections.

6. Many students also do not agree to study at
prestigious universities. According to them prestigious
universities are quite expensive and not everyone could afford
prestigious universities. In addition there are opinions that not
all graduates of prestigious universities can easily find work.
Due to the fact that nowdays the company is more prioritizing
one’s skills and performance, so that their personality
characters are also important.
Arguments (Cons)

7. Study at prestigious universites can give more
opportunities for students to get great career in the future
because of professional lecture, some good facilities, and wide
network. However, they should consider about the cost for
study and also their passion in learning. Therefore, It’s better
to you to think twice wether study at private collage or
prestigious university.
