The questionnaire includes questions of personal and family characteristics, preference/reasons/concerns of pursuing bachelor degrees in universities, daily courses and capability cultivation, gains in the internship. The results in the questionnaire concludes that the students feel difficult in learning courses related to mathematics, English languages, and technical courses in theory. This research also finds students’ incompetency in these three types of courses, which are also the ones they would like to improve in the universities after they are approved for bachelor degrees. It is recommended that the higher vocational college should strengthen these three categories of courses, especially to those students who plan to pursue their bachelor degrees in the universities after graduation.
