The life of a student as an important and dynamic component of an active University education experience. It provides the student with an opportunity to develop not only academically, but also socially. It is important to note that universities have a responsibility as part of the wholistic education of their graduates to prepare students for eventual entry into the work force and entrepreneurship. This is a more complex activity than simply providing the student with greater levels of information and even more sophisticated general skills. In addition, it is also the responsibility of the universities to educate the student about the nature of the work force and the student’s potential place in it, and how the course of study pursued by the student may eventually affect the student’s place in the work force.
