Pinnacle of Education

University is for all. That is students slot day and night hoping to get into one in their lifetime. To deny them their rightful place is to shorten their lifespan and put them in a quandry. What is even worse when there is university that will not accept them but is ready to throw a lifeline to foreign students! That tantamounts to robbing Peter to pay Paul. If a student is "unacceptable" in his own country, where else can he go unless his family is operating a gold mine. Poor students. Some have to "drop out" into the working world hoping and praying to take the first road another day. But alas! Some never make it due to a myriad of reasons beyond their control. Some "lucky" souls just swallow whatever courses offered them on the rusty iron platter. It's better than nothing. It's still a university education after all. Some rebels jumped on the private institution saddling themselves with loans till their middle ages. Well, again it's better than not having the chance. Some universities talk of grabbing top students but I wonder how, I wonder why when our bright and sunny students are left to decide. Please don't take these creams for granted. They will come back to repay you one day.
