Independent Writing:
　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: A university should focus  more on its facilities, such as libraries, computers or laboratory, rather than on hiring famous teachers.
　　Nowadays, to adapt to the increasing enrollment rate, universities choose to hire more professors to lectures students. Whether this measure is more effective compared with upgrading campus facilities has drawn a wide attention. As far as I am concerned, focusing more on university's facilities is more important, though hiring famous professors is necessary.
　　Admittedly, hiring famous professors may have certain benefits. Famous professors usually have more comprehensive and deeper understandings within professional areas, which provides students with introductory backgrounds and specific contents to figure out the theories in textbooks. However, if viewed from a different angle, it also means students have too much to digest. Students might be intimidated by too much reading materials or abysmal jargons and fell reluctant to study. In this case, cultivating students' interests by experiments and other facilities could better improve students' academic performance.
　　Initially, improvement in facilities can serve as a catalyst for increasing students' interests. That is to say, advanced facilities make rigid knowledge vivid for students to understand. For example, for engineering students, it is usually the case that the professor will bring students to the laboratory to demonstrate how the theories in books could be transformed into real circuit schematics. Likewise, professors in filming could use softwares, such as Final Cut, iMovies, or so, to direct students how to combine several static pictures into one moving video. Thanks to these teaching facilities, there is a higher chance that students could be impressed by the real demonstrations of experiments or softwares, luring them to act themselves. On the contrary, famous professors might be leading experts in academics, but that does not necessarily ensure that their opinions could be fully delivered to students, which plays little roles for students' s learning.
　　Additionally, improvement in facilities could enrich students' campus life. In other words, facilities like gymnasiums, libraries or even food courts could be a complement to academic life. By going to gymnasiums after classes, students are eligible to weightlifting, playing squash, climbing and even basketball, dragging them out of study loads. By going to libraries, students could not only find reference books for their class, but, more importantly, they could browse books outside their major according to individual's interests, such as Jane Austen and Sherlock Holmes. By going to the food court during classes, students are offered by various gourmet food, especially, Spaghetti, Sushi and fried rice, providing students with a healthy and exciting lifestyle.
　　To sum up, due to the reasons I list above, I would regard that upgrading university facilities deserves more more focus than hiring famous professors.
