At the beginning of this essay I would like to state that life is a relatively mysterious phenomenon. No one is able to predict what a person will have to deal with or face in his or her days of existence. For that reason alone, I do not think it possible for University or any other similar institution to prepare someone for successful functioning in the world. However, I hold a strong opinion that under certain circumstances University may become a useful or at least a helpful factor in someone's preparations for life.
