Essay - Student Lounge

Student Lounge

         Although our academy provides good environment for study, there is no place to spend their free time for activities such as dining, resting and sharing thoughts. Why students not to be organized into union and solve this problem to make this atmosphere?

         There are following advantages with new student lounge:

·         Students will save their time by having lunch at school

·         Resting without going home during their float

·         Networking and making new friends

·         Sharing information about their classes

·         Get some news from each other

       Since most of the students of Master course are employees we have many ways to make the environment. For example we can get sponsors by locating the company’s logos, selling their products, making their own corner in the student lounge.

      Furthermore, the biggest advantage is the student lounge would be connection between students and Academy’s management. If they understand that student’s feedback influences management’s decision, our academy can be one of the sponsors.      

       In conclusion, I am sure that student lounge will not only give us comfortable spaces and more opportunities but also open the big gate to the Academy.
