Schools should have none of those. And I say this as someone who happily uses my institution's nice gym and happy that decent mental health support will be available to me should I desire it.
Schools try so very hard to be the entirety of their students' lives. They want students socialisation to be within their bounds, they want students to go to their hospital, exercise at their gym, be policed by their police force, work at their on-campus jobs, eat at their cafeteria, live in their dorms, cheer for their sports teams, and so on and so on. And society mostly caters to this desire, which the students and parents are also more-or-less on board with. But even as these integrations individually benefit the students, the net effect is to bubble students away from the rest of the world while also creating a bloated administrative entity that is both too powerful for its own good and completely unable to get things done.
