Full-time university students spend most of their time in class or working on assignments. However, some people think that it is important for students to get involved in non-academic activities on campus as well (for example, to join a sports team or take part in drama). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Recently most students join a university to get a good job after graduation. Thus, they just think about grade and activities that they can write on resume for employment. Therefore, some people think non-academic activities such as joining a club are wasting time. However, I totally agree with the argument that various activities excepting academic things are very important on campus. This essay will provide the reasons.
First of all, university students are still young. They have to experience as many as possible during 4 years. Various experiences can be helpful in their lives and effect on their future. If they spend time on just academic activities related to their major, they might miss a lot of chance to learn other things which are more important than grade. Nobody know how their lives change and which difficulty they will have in the future. The more they experienced many things, the better they can deal with at that time. Thus, every activity on campus, even such as traveling new places, joining sports club and meeting new people, will be useful for their lives in the future.
Also, there are many things to learn through non-academic activities and it is a good source to write on resume. Some people who consider non-academic activities as time-wasting think that these activities are not helpful for their employment. However, there is one thing at least they can learn on any activity. For example, they can learn how to associate with other people and how to assist other members by joining a sports club. While they exercise on sports club, they have to cooperate with other students to win. It is very important to associate with other people well on social life. Thus, they can write on their resume about team work based on sports club experience.
In conclusion, getting a good score is important at university and it will have an effect on employment after graduation. However, it is a period that they have to experience and learn many things as possible as they can. It will be a precious asset in the future.
