Widespread Extravagant Spending on Campus

　　Recently, the monthly expenditures of college students tend to be on the rise.

　　Some people see widespread extravagant spending on campus as a common practice.

　　However, others argue that students should keep frugality in mind.

　　Many factors contribute to this issue.

　　First, with the general living standard keeping rising, students get more pocket money from their parents to buy whatever they like.

　　Besides, with the one-child policy, most students are the only child of their families,so parents and grandparents are willing to provide money for their children.

　　Moreover, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends,and they would like to get whatever they want regardless of financial conditions.

　　In my opinion, a student’s spending beyond the boundaries of daily necessities is a kind of waste,and widespread extravagant spending on campus could have a bad influence on people’s values.

　　We students should remember that campus is a place for study,so such kind of phenomenon should be prohibited.
