▶ Your Answer :
Only few universities in Korea have sports facilities. Universities are reluctant to spend money on sports because they think universities is for academics. However, in my opinion, universities should spend money equally both on library and sports because health is important in studying and there are many alternate place as for library.
To begin with, to study constantly, students have good physical health. We commonly overlook importance of physical health when we study. However, health is one of important factor to study hard and constantly. Universities' subject need high concentration and endurance. Exercising is a great help to improve students' concentration and endurance. Therefore, building sports club increase achievement of learning. Some studies have shown that students who exercise get higher degree than who don't. In addition, universities that have sports facilities show high score in evaluation on studying. This means without good physical health, students can't get satisfactory grade.
On top of that, it is hard to find free sports facilities in cities. There are many libraries that are run by government in each cities. Some of them are bigger than that of universities and even for free. However, there are few free sports facilities. If sports clubs are builded, students can use them for free and citizen around the universities can take advantage of them cheaply. Therefore, to build sports facilities is efficient to students. From some surveys, it is true that public libraries is more than public sports clubs and students want to found sports centers rather than enlarge libraries.
To sum up, spending on sports has advantage of improving students' learning abilities and using free facilities. In this regard I think universities should invest money for physical activities.
