Some people think that a university should invest in social activities rather than food for students. They may think supporting social activities has more advantages than improving food does. However, in my opinion, universities should spend their money on developing food at cafeterias because it can make students stay healthy and help them save their time. To begin with, improving food at university cafeterias can make students keep healthy. If a budget of university cafeterias is extended, they can provide students with healthy food at proper price. Thus, students can stay healthy by using the cafeterias. For instance, when I was in university, the cafeteria offered low quality food to students. Thus, I usually used convenience stores to have lunch because I thought the food the convenience store had was not different from the cafeteria had. A few months later, I felt uncomfortable with my stomach and I could not concentrate on studying. One day, my school increased budget for food and my friend suggested me to use the school cafeteria. They served various healthy food for students and I started to enjoy having lunch there. As time passed by, I did not feel a pain in my stomach anymore and I recovered my health. Thus, I kept using school restaurant until I graduated from the university to stay healthy. On top of that, it helps students save their time. When university cafeterias offer good food at proper price because of investment in improving food, students can use the school restaurant and do not need to go other restaurant outside the university. Thus, students can use their extra time to developing their academic performance and to participate in extra curricular activities. I can take an example of my friend. My friend’s school cafeteria was too small to admit many students and did not serve good food enough to be satisfied with. Therefore, my friend had to use restaurants out the school and it took so long time to get there and come back. However, one day, his school decided to spend more money on improving the cafeteria and its food. My friend started to use the school restaurant and then saved his time because he did not need to go other place that were far away from his school to have meals. Thus, he used his extra time to participate in a debate club and enjoy playing sports at the school. To sum up, spending more money on improving food at university restaurants can make students keep healthy and help them save their time. In this regard, I believe that universities should use their funds to make better food at the school cafeterias rather than support social activities for students. |
