College Essay #23 - Physical Eduacation courses

179) Should college students be required to take physical education courses? Why or why not?

I love sports but I don’t think college students should be required to take physical education course. Shifting from a high school to universities is a huge jump. Firstly, the workload increases. It’s really hard to get used to finishing work by the due dates. First year is like hell to most students in universities. The thought of completing a physical education course is a headache to a lot of students.  Students should instead play the sports that they like during their free time, It shouldn’t necessary be a requirement. There is a difference between requirement and willingness. When a person is in the mood to play sports they are more than welcome to go and shoot some hoops. Requirement is just a bad thought to few students because its causes to much tension. 

In Woodstock School there are a few requirements in order for one to graduate. One of the major requirements is to have sixty hours of outdoor education credit.
My friends and I are having trouble getting to 15 hours of outdoor education in our first semester of junior year I wonder how much torture I would, rather students would go through if they had to do a physical education course. 

I like to play sports when I am in the mood. If it a mandatory requirement, it would put me down and make me want to hate sports just for the heck of it. 
College life is really important for students therefore they cannot enjoy life like they used to in school, college students are more independent and busy. They cannot seem to take of hours from their busy schedules to play sports to complete their requirement.

People might say:  How will college students be fit if they didn’t have a physical education course?  Well, let me tell you, as I mentioned that college students are independent they would know when they need to exercise and they would know what a good diet is like.  That way there shouldn’t be any problem of getting fat or unhealthy.
