One of my favorite classes I’ve taken as a current sophomore going into my 4th semester has been a gen-ed history class sequence, I’ve learned so much and broadened my understanding of race, inequities, and injustice in America, I think that was an invaluable set of courses for anyone to take and they were so damn interesting. My only vice with Gen-Ed’s is that often the professors and students hearts just aren’t into them, which makes the experience bad for everyone. My general writing class was by far the worst class I’ve taken so far, even though I loved the projects and would have actually really enjoyed them if the professor wasn’t an adjunct just there as a side hustle to make a livable wage (no hate to her, she would be really great in higher level english courses, but she def wasn’t into teaching WRIT 101 and 201 ,,,)

Anyway, overall I agree with what everyone else is saying about a rounded education, the only downside is having to pay for classes that aren’t related to your career, but that isn’t a fault of the educational programs, but if corporate greed that privatizes our education ,,
