In theory, anyone who joined a monastery had to have a calling or vocation. They had to be called by God to the monastic life.
Aside from that, there were many reason people might want to join monasteries, including security in dangerous times, being free from the duties of family life, being afraid of having children, being afraid of war, being afraid of starvation, wanting to make a positive impact on the world, being thankful for some blessing worthy of the dedication of a life, having to deal with guilt, having no family and being alone, and so on.
