Many people say that universities should only offer places to young students with the highest marks, while others say they should accept people of all ages, even if they did not do well at school. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

learning process? Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages which I will discuss

in

with the highest marks,
this
would give them a good reputation as they could proudly say that their

a

at a younger age. Some are not lucky enough to have the financial resources and have to work so they could go to

.
For example
, some
students
have to work and save money to get into
college
. There are
students
who did not perform well from the school where they came from but that should not be a hindrance for them to get into
college
. Sometimes performance is not only measured through grades but
also
in a
student
's study or work ethics.
For example
, a
student
may not be on top of his class before entering a
university
, but because he is determined to go to
college
and take up something which is considered his passion like arts or music, maybe
that is
the time that he can excel because of the love for what he or she is doing.

chance
to those who are no longer young but wants to receive quality

because learning knows no boundaries which in
this
