Dear Editor,
In reference to the “Taking up space” article, I would like to say – get over yourself. A university’s goal is to allow students to gain a well-rounded education. Taking challenging courses outside your major can help that well-roundedness – and should be encouraged.
Sure, a student could take lower classes, but perhaps an eager, smart student doesn’t want to sit in an auditorium full of 120 students where the material isn’t as in-depth as a 4000-level course. Just because you didn’t register before they did doesn’t mean they should be deprived of a challenging, interesting course because it’s not their major. Surprise! Some people are here to learn. Please don’t discourage that.
