Universities are not only responsible for ensuring you have a great academic experience, but also provide great opportunities to get involved with extra curricula activities to ensure you have a fantastic holistic experience.

Naturally, we all pursue a higher education in subjects which we both enjoy and excel at, it makes perfect sense, but how many famous people do you know in the public forum i.e. politicians, media/documentary presenters, actors, sports personalities, all who enrolled in a degree with the goal of entering into the world of conventional and traditional career pathways, only to find they achieved professional satisfaction as a result of activities they engaged in at university as a result of joining the debating society; the drama society; the athletics teams?

Universities provide the opportunity for you to pursue interests which may have been unavailable to you up until now, but universities are so well equipped, offering excellent facilities, that nothing is really impossible...

So, take the bull by the horns, so to speak, stretch yourself, you will be amazed by what you can achieve. Also, if you've been a bit on the shy side in high school, going to university allows you the opportunity to re-invent yourself and become that confident personality, which will offer any future employer a well-rounded individual who has taken the most of their opportunities along the way.
