Hi. Could you, please, check my short essay? It is very important for me because I don't know some cases of using articles, prepositions, collocations and grammar. The most popular assumption (is it synonym to "expectation" in this context?) about education in/at (?) university is learning about the future job. Some people believe that an interesting social life should be while university education. Improving communication skills is the least favoured (can I use “favoured” in this context?) expectations (or without “s”) about process of learning (or “studying” better?) at university with young people. Young people enter a university as they want to build a friendship with influential people in order to have a valuable assistance ("val. assis." sounds well?) in the (or without “the”?) future. They also want to learn a profession and have an idea of who they will work in the future. One problem that can arise with studying at the university is that it's time consuming. The students do not have enough time for family and friends. I think the best solution to this problem is to manage time.

Young people enter a university as they want to build a friendship with influential people in order to have a valuable assistance ("val. assis." sounds well?) in the (or without “the”?) future. "Young people enter university wanting to make connections and network with influential people in order to potentially gain valuable assistance in the future." Note: "Valuable assistance" does sound okay, but I could even say "to have a valuable/useful/priceless asset." They also want to learn a profession and have an idea of who they will work in the future. "They also want to learn a profession and have an idea of who they will work (for) in the future". Note: Just need the preposition of who they will work for. One problem that can arise with studying at the university is that it's time consuming. The students do not have enough time for family and friends. I think the best solution to this problem is to manage time. "One problem that can arise with studying at university is that it's time-consuming." Note: Just delete "the" because we're talking about the routine of going to university in general. Same with "going to work". If it's a more specific/immediate situation, we can use "the". For example, A: "Where's Dr. Peters? Oh, he's at the university finishing some paperwork." or B: "When I was young and in university, I used to regularly stay awake all night." < more of a general statement about a past routine And for the last sentences, everything seems okay. Perhaps you could even use a hyphen and say, "I think the best solution to this problem is to improve one's time-management skills." If you have any questions, you can send me a message any time!

The most popular assumption (is it synonym to "expectation" in this context?) about education in/at (?) university is learning about the future job. "The most popular assumption/expectation regarding university education is that one will learn about their future job." Note: I just re-wrote the sentence to have it flow a little more smoothly. In this sentence, both "assumption" and "expectation" sound good as well as "in" or "at". You will hear "in" and "at" user interchangeably by natives quite often with school, college, and university. Some people believe that an interesting social life should be while university education. "Some people believe that an interesting social life should be pursued while at university." Note: I had to change the sentence because you have a fragment in yours. "should be + (adj) OR (verb)" Example: "should be seen while..." / "should be cold while" Improving communication skills is the least favoured (can I use “favoured” in this context?) expectations (or without “s”) about process of learning (or “studying” better?) at university with young people. "Improving communication skills is often the least-expected aspect of the learning environment while attending university with young generations." Note: I understand what you meant by "favoured", I just feel that it could be a little more natural-sounding with "expected" in this particular sentence. I also changed the sentence structure around to smooth it out a bit. I'll add a second comment for the rest of the essay.
