Whether studying in university is "useful" is a complicated problem. Different people have different opinions. Under the socialist values, education is regarded as an important cornerstone of personal development, social progress and national prosperity. University education can not only provide professional knowledge and skills, but also cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving ability and interpersonal skills, all of which are important qualities needed by modern society.

However, from the perspective of personal economy, the "usefulness" of university education may be questioned, especially in the case of fierce competition in the job market, mismatched majors or disconnection between education and the job market. In addition, the cost of higher education, especially tuition and living expenses, is also an important factor for many people to consider whether to go to college.

Generally speaking, the usefulness of going to college depends on many factors, including personal career goals, market demand of majors studied, quality of education, and personal learning ability and motivation. From the national and social point of view, university education is usually regarded as a valuable investment, because it can promote the development of human resources and social progress.
