whether school should put more money on classes than on sports and social activities Many people contend that acquiring knowledge is of great significance in college. And in light of this, they aver the classes and libraries are supposed to get more financial support than the sports and social activities. However, I hardly agree with that saying in that what a college student need is far beyond academic knowledge. Sports and social activities are also crucial to a student's life, and consequently, they are really valuable to receive the financial support. To begin with, sports and social activities are advantageous to students' health both mentally and physically. But teachers as well as the students never attach them to any importance. Provided that the school input more money on these activities, teachers and the students may be conscious that they need to participate in the activities which the school thinks highly of. For example, in my school, Nanjing University, our swimming club receives much money each semester, in light of this, people all contend that our school thinks highly of the swimming club. With knowing it, many people participate in swimming and then they also get a chance to exercise. Then, sports and social interaction play a crucial role in completing a student in his capability. More realistically, they can enrich the resume of a student. Nevertheless, the fact is that many students have no chance to approach them due to the sports and social clubs lacking money. I have heard that my brother's university never put much money on the activities unless they are concerned with the study. It holds the opinion that studying is the most important, which is not rarity in China. But, it turns out that the students there are difficult to find a job since what they merely know is to study. The students from that school can never be picked up by companies because they are a lack of social experience and healthy fits. In addition, if a student takes part in sports and activities, he or she may make more friends. By contrast, a student indulged in studying always has no opportunity to make acquaintance with others. So the school is obliged to provide the students with more chances by investing some money on them. Without money, hardly can a club survive. To sum up, I insist that investing money on sports and social activities is equally important, if not more important than, to the classes and libraries.
