Some people think that your #munity would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your #munity. Use specific details in your discussion.
The first advantage of having a new university built in my #munity would be the jobs it would bring to the #munity. Initially, the jobs would be those connected with the actual building of the university structures, such as brick layers and carpenters. Once the buildings were #pleted, the jobs would be those on the campus itself. Those would include teachers, office workers, custodians, and librarians.
Not all of the people the university hired would already be members of the #munity, so that would mean a lot of new people #ing to town. Of course, a lot of students would #e too. Two advantages of new people in town would be more taxpayers and a more diverse population. With more people paying taxes, there would be more money for schools, libraries and other #munity needs. With a more diverse population, there would be new stores, new restaurants （to serve different tastes） and new cultural influences.
Of course, there would also be disadvantages. More people living in the #munity could mean more houses being built. There would be more traffic on the streets, with the #bination of new residents and students who bring their cars. Plus, more people would mean more public services would be needed. These services could include everything from trash collection to more schools to hold all the children of the new residents. New services might mean local taxes would have to go up, even though there would be more taxpayers.
Another disadvantage is that the personality of our #munity would change. It would go from being a place where everybody knows everybody else to a place where a lot of people are strangers. It would be#e a place with a lot of short-term residents, like the university students, who might not care as much about the town.
Communities always change over time, though, and overall I like the atmosphere of a “college town. ”A new university would bring a lot of challenges, but I think it would be worth it.
