I'm glad I went to a UK uni where I could spend 3 years just studying the course/subject I applied to study. Why is there a need to study irrelevant stuff at university? You should have already been exposed to a broad range of subjects in high school.
>>1161662
While I agree with this(special shout out to machining/mat science) a lot of it you can learn on your own.
Especially with opencourseware these days.
>>1161491
>statistics
Useful everywhere
>heat and mass transport
IMO fairly useful if you do anything technical or even cook.
>literature analysis
You go to college to be smart, right? Why not take a class that makes you sound pretentious around others when you watch TV and movies?
>o-chem
Everyone needs to know what is feels like to get anally raped by a class.
>the fluff class all the football players take

>programming class
>foreign language class
>>1161701
>ochem
>anally raped
Organic chem is legitimately the easiest out of the typical second year chem courses. The worst part of the class is dealing with all the premed or even worse, "pre-pharm" retards that are forced to take it.

No, no. I don't want the CS field to become oversaturated.

In my school it was called "Academic Strategies 150 (ACST 150)". The curriculum involved listening to a lecture on how to study, take notes, and attend classes successfully. There was a single one hour lecture each month. That was 5 total lectures for the academic semester. There was only a single assignment for this course, no exams, dedicated to explaining how you will apply these academic strategies gained to your future learning career. The required assignment length was two pages, MLA format, 500 words.
This was the best class ever. You basically show up, write a little paper, and get an A+. It's a GPA buffer course.

That about sums it up.
statistics (math or psych)
research methods (psych)

not sure about the other two... some thing a long the lines of calc, metaphyics/consciousness, art, literature, astromony
>>1162142
>logic (philosophy)
This.
Collegium logicum was the most valuable class to me.
(However, it can also perceived as shit tier class by some people who are unable to build a connection from the logic part to other areas)

If you're an extrovert, take a language or business or something and go into sales, make a fucking killing.
If you're an introvert, take stats or math or something, make dat money in finance or tech.
I took the former route thinking I was an extrovert who liked people. Turns out I'm actually am introvert who doesn't like people at all, so I'm currently switching to the latter route.
You learn a lot about yourself when put through a trial by fire, it's one aspect of working in a startup that's great early in your career (pay and hours not so much)
>>1161676
At least officially, it's to give students a broad base of knowledge and maybe help some undecided kids pick a major. Your point about high school is true, but there might be a bit of "making up" going on since US high school is shit.
Of course, the real reason is to give departments money.

art, physical excercise, and cooking are important but it's best to just do these in your spare time, not waste a class on it. but yes, definitely pick up appreciation for these in college
>>1162142
>took intro to logic as a gen ed
>get the terrible professor
>exams manage to be hard without really testing your logic skills
>homework assignments are a constant barrage of "make examples from your everyday life, post to discussion board and respond to other posts" that take forever
>when class was cancelled for bad weather she announced it through Blackboard instead of email so I and several other students showed up
>literally around a third of the class drops because they're fed up with her shit
>almost get a C because she forgot about my quiz grades (I reminded her and got a B; grade is low because fuck that homework)

Because then you aren't required to know what you want to do (possibly) for the rest of your life by the time you're 17 and when you're in uni you can take a course in something else that interests you. I'm glad I had the option to take accounting courses alongside my chemistry degree because they ended up helping me a lot at my job.
