School activities and acadamic facilities, which is more important in college or university?

I am a university student and I've attended many activities in my school. Sometimes it's hard to make the decision whether to take an activity or a class, but after a year's experience, I do think classes and libraries are more important than sports and social activities- they deserve more financial support.

When I was a freshman at Peking University, I attended 3 sports teams and 3 social unions. After 1 or 2 months, they really drove me crazy! They're endless meetings, activities and games, which prevented me from sitting in the library, concentrating on my studies. As a result, I dropped most of them the next semester and I felt better and did better in my academic work.

Though sports and social activities might benefit us in our health or social skills, which are also very vital factors of our future lives, this does not mean that sports and social activities are equally as important as academic work. The way I see it, sports are something that depend on how students value it, once basic facilities are equiped, it may not have something to do with the financial support. Here in Peking university, we have a big and beautiful gym, but it still doesn't attract most of my friends who don't like sports at all.

Classes and libraries provides us with what we really need in university. In universities, we students are supposed to gain enough knowledge and master some useful skills. Listening to our teacher in class and staying in the library (otherwise referred to as the ocean of knowledge) to do some reading or research are both effective ways of acheiving the goal of attending a university. If we don't value the importance of classes and libraries, then why are we here at college? As for social skills, we develop it everyday- don't we?
