▶ Your Answer : Nowadays as society changes more and more rapidly, students have to experience many things to prepare for their future. In this regard, many university tend to operate various social activities, that students can participate easily from volunteer works to internship program. Some people think that it's not effective for university to invest money to support these programs, however, in my opinion, I think university have to use their funds to provide social activities for many students. To begin with, while acting in the program, students can learn social skills. Social skills like kindness, respect, be active and so on are important but these cannot be learned by reading books. These skills are obtained by lots of experiences among many people. However, in Korea, many students just studied hard to go to better university when they were in the high school, so they have lack of experiences to develop those skills. It is severe problem because lower social skills can lead to inadequcy in society. Therefor because the university is responsible for not just getting knowledge but preparing for the real world, it is crucial for university to provide many social activities. On top of that, students can build a wide range of social networks and broad their thought through social activities. In the university, if students don't participate clubs of social activities, it is hard for student to meet other students who are in different major. However, when they move into the real world, broad social network is beneficial not only for their wider perspective, but also for their succeed. For example, in my case, when I was a university student, I joined the volunteer work program that was operated by university. Many students parcitipated that program, so I could meet a variety of students who are in different major. When I interacted with peers in other majors, I can feel the other world beyond my thoughts, and it lead me to think more creatively. From now on, I still have a good relationship with them and sometimes I contact them to borrow their wise. In summary, participating social activities can make students learn social skills, and can lead them to the braoder world. In conclusion, I strongly believe that univerisites have to use their budget for supporting better social activities.
