These days, some people take it for granted that it is important for
university to spend money on hiring good teachers. However, contrary to this
idea, I strongly believe that it is more important for university to spend
money on facilities. The rationale behind this is that spending money on
facilities helps to maintain mental health and to enhance the qualities of
university status.
First of all, by spending money on facilities, student can easily and
quickly escape from boring and harsh everyday life. Nowadays, most students
have a loads of work since they are responsible for their future in order to
get good grades. This will make it hard for students mentally and physically. What
is worse, this can stress them out and stress is one of primary factors of
illnesses through weakening the immune system. This is why, most universities tend
to spend money to build new building such as playground, park, and leisure
areas. Through these facilities, they can relieve stress. It helps them forget
about their worries and make them feel better. According to research of Seoul
National University in 2011, two groups of students showed on academic achievement
about the rate of getting stress through an experiment. Group of A
students played a basketball game after school twice a week while group of B
students did not any leisure activities, and just studies without break time.
This tests showed a big difference. Group of B students got more stress than
group of A students about twenty-five percent. Besides, the grades of group of
students A increased by a small margin.
On top of that, spending money on facilities play an important role in increasing
the status of universities. An important reason is that most students want to
enter a good school that having various cultural facilities, being convenient
for transportation, and cheap tuition and boarding expense. This is because
they think it is better for students to meet a lot of nice people and share happy
memories with them. As a result, the number of applying trend to these school
is increasing every year. From my experience, when I was in high school, I wanted
to major in music composition and to enter Chung-ang University. This is
because this school is near where I live and have a lot of private practice
room for students. Moreover, there are a lot of music score that is hard to
find in Korea and I like in a school library. I believed that these points make
me to motivate more into my practice and to improve musical abilities. For
these reasons, it was hard to enter this school and become known that is a prestige
school on music on the area of music. Were it not for this school, I would have
a narrow mind and lack of understanding of music.
In conclusion, without any doubt, I firmly believe that it is important
for university to spend money on facilities. The reason is that they enable us
to keep healthy and to become known as an elite school.
