Model Answer:
A university is a place to transfers knowledge among the students to be applied in their future days. It is to be acknowledged undoubtedly that all the university students are highly meritorious, intelligent and smart as they undergo tougher and competitive tests before their admission in a university. Thus, they should be taken care of properly so that they could bloom when they enter into their professional life.

University students should exercise both physical and mental well-being. To be mentally fit and smart, they should use the library and should also have very good linkage with their textbooks but to be physically fit, they need to have regular exercise and participation is different sports activities too is a must.

There are some universities who spend money only for the buying books so that the students could have a good score in the exams and simply ignore the issue of their physical well-being. As a result, the students turn as the bookworms and cannot comply with the real lie world. They are not tailored so to survive.

Physical fitness is also a requirement to survive in the world and thus they need to have proper physical exercises and participation in the sports activities is the best way to bring the fitness. If the university authority does not provide with the necessary arrangements, the students will be unable to gain the fitness. Usually, the universities enrich their libraries with rare and expensive books to fill up the library shelves. Sometimes, most of the books are of no use except beautification and it is a kind of money wastage. Besides, some of the books are not allowed for the students as being rare and costly.

On the other side, if the authority invests the same amount of money that they usually spend for the libraries, the student could have done much better in their education. When they will be fit physically and mentally, they will be inspired to be attentive in their studies and consequently, their scores will go up, undoubtedly. For example, the students who are good at sports are good at study too, but the scenario is the opposite – all the good students are not good players.

Thereby, the university authorities should consider the issue and allot the same amount of money for the sports development of the university as they spend to enrich the libraries. Arranging a large field for sports activities will be a great help for the students and if not possible, a small gymnasium will do better.
