Below are 13 thought-provoking questions. I want you to think about each of them: ideally, you should jot down a brief initial answer to each one (but don''t post all those answers. It''s too many!). Then chose the two that interest you most, and post your opinion here. Indicate which questions you''re answering by the number I''ve provided. I expect your answers will need to be at least 100 words long, per question.Here are the questions:

1. Why are you in college? Why do you think most people today go to college?
