My university

Well my perfect university would be more of a revised university rather than a completely new system.  As a full time student paying my own way with a part time job, i find it difficult to juggle everything.  I would make universities lower the amount of credits required to graduate by cutting out the requirements for fine arts.  I myself am lucky enough to have gotten a really great Fine Arts teacher but from what i hear many students don't seem to mesh well with their fine arts teachers.  I would also change the rules on crediting gym based classes like; wieghtlifting, and martial arts.  I don't understand why dancing counts towards your degree but martial arts doesn't. If dancing can count towards your degree than why not a physical class.  The universities under my thumb would have more and more open class discussion classes.  To this day my favorite class has been intro to Sociology with Dr. Minnich.  Every class she let us the students debate about which criminals should be released and which shouldn't and other things of that nature.  Any class that gets the student involved rather than sitting down and ignoring the professor in a 3 hour lecture is great.  i would also never start class before 1030am because the mind isn't fully awake until 9 am.  Sports would be avaible to anyone who wants to play.  I would also make school cheaper in order for students not to feel rushed to get out school because it's so expensive.  Students could finish school at their own pace and get more out of college.  And finally i would have many dorms so that dorming could be cheaper and hopefully the price would go down in order for students with less money could enjoy the benefits of living on campus.

  1. I agree with Alejandro, with just about everything. Like the requirements of certain classes, because I don't know how learning about classical music is going to help me in psychology. It would be great if students could learn at their pace and not feel rushed about leaving school unprepared. I know personally I don't like group discussion in class.Also making tuition cheaper will make students want to learn something that they are passionate with, and not something that will just make them money.
