it is commonly believed that a university is where people go to get an education.however,it has also been said that today people interupt their education to go to the university.obviously the distinction between schooling and education implied by the remark above is very important but also very confusing.nevertheless,i still believe that the university of southampton is where people can balance the conflict between schooling and education,where i can further my study on one side and where i am also able to improve my life experiences on the other side.that's the main reason why i choose to apply to southampton.thank you!
