Nowdays many universities tend to focus on their libraries. However, I think that university athletic departments should receive the same amount of funding as university libraries. This is due to the fact that exercises make student healthier and students can relieve stress and get along with others through sports.
To begin with, students with diseases cannot perform not only activities but also studies. Sports make them healthy so their immune systems are strengthened and they can maintain their stamina. In addition, exercises allow students to reduce the possibility of obesities. Recent study shows that people conducting exercises regularly live six years longer than they do not exercises.
Moreover, funding university athletic departments encourages students to relieve their stress when they take part in sports. In particular, participating in team sports such as soccer, basketball, volleyball and so on, they can learn social skills, relieve stress and make friends. For example, when I was a freshman, I had only few friends so I felt my university life was boring. At that time my friend was a member of soccer team and I followed him. After then, I played soccer with team members and I made a lot of friends. When I finished freshman, I had difficulty in selecting my major and they advised me choosing it.
To sum up, because of these reasons, the same amount of investing between university athletic departments and libraries cannot be underestimated.
