There is so much for one to experience in a university, apart from attaining education. Its a place that allows you to grow to your full potential, enhance your intrapersonal skills as well as making connections with others.
However, not everyone can afford higher education. While some can afford private education, those from middle class families often rely on scholarships or even partial scholarships and loans. Unfortunately, those from underprivileged families are often left behind. Higher education has become a luxury that is not available for everyone.
