Most popular college class?

Ya'll, choosing classes for college is so nerve-racking! I'm trying to balance my schedule among my major classes, electives and gen-ed requirements. Are there any specific popular classes that I absolutely need to take? What do students usually rave about?

Certainly, classes can vary widely from school to school, but here are a few types of classes that some students particularly enjoy:

1) Interdisciplinary Courses: These classes draw from various fields, but tackle a singular topic. This can provide a unique and expansive view of the subject. This could be something like "Natural Disasters: Science, Ethics, and Society" where you might spend time understanding the physical mechanics of tsunamis, but also discuss human response, policy, and impacts on populations. It’s an engaging way to fulfill general education or elective requirements.

2) Creative Outlets: Many students seek to balance their academic workload with a class that nurtures their creative side, like music, art, or dance. Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush, an introductory studio art class could prove a soothing and enjoyable break from heavy reading or problem-sets.

3) "Life Skills" Classes: Some colleges offer classes that teach practical skills like personal finance, negotiation, public speaking, or even "adulting." These are usually popular, as they apply directly outside of the academic context.

4) Iconic Classes: Finally, look into the signature classes your institution offers. For example, Art in the Dark is an iconic class at UC San Diego where students analyze and critique film. At Yale, the Philosophy and the Science of Human Nature course is renowned, playing host to engaging debates over human rationality and morality.

Remember, just because a class is popular does not mean it will necessarily a 'good fit' for you. Consider your interests, schedule, and workload, and talk to other students or advisors for a better sense of what classes you might enjoy.
