Chinanews, Chongqing, Apr. 15 – Two weeks ago, the Southwest University launched a questionnaire survey to find out why students wanted to go to college. The survey, which aroused wide public interest on campus, was recently concluded. About 1,000 people participated in this survey. Its result shows that many students choose to go to college for self-fulfilment, the Chongqing Business News reported.

 

When conducting the survey, the Southwest University said students wouldn’t need to write down their names. Instead, they could just list the reasons for their study. Among the questionnaires, the answer related with self-fulfilment comes first, although the specific answers might vary. Some students write they go to college “to educate themselves”; some say they “don't want to be an illiterate”; some want to “cultivate their learning morale1 and spirit”; and some want to “make themselves better educated.”

 

In spite of this, some students are very practical about their study. Some say they study in order to find a good job. Some say they study in order to please their parents or to live a good life after graduation. Surprisingly, one student says he studies in order that one day he can “go to Hollywood.” The student says that ever since he became a junior middle school student, he has always hoped that one day, he can go abroad and become a film director or a famous script writer.

 

Li Guowei, a senior college student majoring in MBA, says one day, he might become a business tycoon2, just like Li Ka-shing in Hong Kong.

 

“I'm not joking. I'm serious. This is my life goal,” he says.

 

Zhang Zhongming, an educationist from the Southwest University, expressed his appreciation3 for the activity. He said that young people might have many reasons for their study, which was quite normal nowadays. As the survey shows, many students keep practical goals for their study and more students keep their own individual goals instead of following the social value.

 

“This is good, because students realize that they can do something for society only after attaining4 their individual goals,” he commented.
