This paper examines how the experience of college opens the mind and the senses to new learning experiences and social encounters. It looks at how college students are encouraged to think critically and analyze problems and situations from different perspectives and angles. It shows how a college education broadens horizons and opens up opportunities for increased employability and earning potential and also acts as a foundation for a productive life. The value of a college education is evident in the personal, economic, and societal benefits experienced due to higher learning.
From the Paper:
"Beyond increased income potential, graduates from college educations also experience several other benefits compared to those with only high school diplomas. These benefits include longer life spans, better access to health care, better dietary and health practices, greater economic stability and security, and less dependency on government assistance. College education has also been linked to greater use of seat belts, more continuing education, greater attendance at live performances, greater participation in leisure and artistic activities and more book purchases. Furthermore, college graduates have been found to have higher voting rates, greater knowledge of government, more volunteer work, and greater demonstrated community service and leadership."
