Nowadays, the system of university education is still the same as traditional system. It means that most of schools force students to study compulsory subjects. Students complain that they can not choose subjects they are interested in and have to spend much time on doing things that they do not really need. And I strongly disagree with this point because of several reasons. I support for the view that college students should have more freedom to choose their own course.

First of all, I believe that students can be more active in the lessons and interested in studying different subjects. They love the courses which they choose, so that they will work harder and more concentrate. They will study more comfortably. The easier knowledge they get, the longer they remember. Moreover, when they like to study, they will put in themselves more effort and they will be even better in studying to get a best result. Therefore, if the college students have the opportunity of choosing their subjects, they will be more eager to attend their classes. As the result they will get better marks, which is satisfactory both for them as well as for their teachers. Especially, if they are forced to study too many subjects, they are given many homework and class work. It makes students feel tired and pressured. And it leads to drop the subject they have no interest at all. College students know when they need studying many subjects, which is suitable for their own condition.

The final and important point is that students know what they are good at, so the students should be given more freedom to choose their own courses. Actually, it is very necessary for students to choose freely their own courses because only they know what they are interested in and what they need. That is the reason why they will pay more attention to the subjects they are really interested in....
