Full-time university students spend a lot of time studying, however they should perform other activities too. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Agree
- . students should focus on other activities too as it help them to develop skills
- . can even adapt something else as a career option rather than choosing academic
- . other activities can help in creating a fresh environment
- . they will learn to create a balance between extra curricular activities and studies.
Disagree
- . as huge amount of fees are being charged by the university, and the first goal of student needs to be the academic performance, other activities can be done later and competition
In modern times, university goers are mostly focusing on studies and most of their time is spent on improving academic performance, whereas some believe that they should spend their time in other activities too. I completely agree with this view completely and shall elucidate my views in the following paragraphs.
The significant development of the technology has created peer pressure, and individuals attending university programs tend to stay fully occupied in academics because the job market has become competitive, so that they can gain rich employment opportunities like their classmates and acquaintances. Similarly, they must bear an extremely high amount of fees, which creates a burden on their families, persuading them to stay focussed only on their studies.
However, students need to be introduced to other activities too as it helps them to escape the mundane, and rejuvenate their minds, which can help them enhance their focus on their studies. Undeniably, programs offered in varsities are loaded with complex syllabus that involves undertaking projects, assignments and sometimes practicals, which can be mentally taxing, but partaking in cocurricular endeavors can earn them a much required healthy distraction, allowing them to unwind and refresh their minds. For instance, most globally-acknowledged universities like University of Glasgow, encourage their pupils to participate in sports, arts and other endeavors, so as to allow them to let off steam. Furthermore, this will help them to develop skills and to be free from their chaotic schedules, which can lead to broader thinking and creative mindsets.
In hindsight, dispute aside, by analyzing both the views, being academically strong can help in building up a strong career, but taking part in extra-curricular undertakings can lead better academic outcomes, as well as foster resourcefulness.
