>Universities and colleges still do the "well-rounded student" meme

which shitty colleges do this? i got to pick all the courses i wanted aside from mandatory ones that are prerequisites for all the higher level classes in my major

>Be med student.
>Smoking weed.
>Reading about cardiopulmonary disease.

Noone takes life seriously anymore.

Our culture is fucked and i think the "well-rounded student" is a good idea.

what?

There's nothing wrong with demanding students be well-rounded.

But school should keep it flexible. STEM majors should be allowed to substitute Technical Writing for Eng101 and nobody should be ~required~ to take women's studies courses.

I take it the majority of American students are 'well-rounded', user? :^)

I was going into medicine, but I'm too Aspergic for it and was forced into nuclear engineering.

The idea of a degree is more than just "student knows X amount about Y subject" - in theory, they should be a promise that you have at least a basic understanding of how the world work and some sort of breadth.

Your college is clearly the shitty one.

Funny, one of my professors was ranting about that today, that students don't know how to do technical papers since all the school does is basic writing, and he says that it has no really purpose in STEM classes

at least i wasn't forced to pay for classes i didn't want to take

how was your postmodern feminism class?
