I went to a major medical university and studied humanities. The amount of soon-to-be doctors and nurses complaining about why they needed to study things like ethics, philosophy, or history astounded me, it's like these people didn't want to deal with the human aspect of medicine and instead just wanted to make money.
I wouldn't be shocked if more medschool students dropped out from the humanities courses than the medical ones, they hated it
I didn't hate them, but it's tough when every professor assigns homework like they're the only class you're taking.
Not meaning to imply they should be dropped, but looking at the state of the world most people aren't internalizing anything from the humanities.
I had a professor that said a good student will study Monday to Saturday the amount of hours a day as the amount of credits you take. Take Sundays off. We all had 15 credits a semester.
