College is a time in people’s lives when they’re exposed to new ideas for the first time through meeting people from all across the world or those from different economic or racial backgrounds. It’s important that engaging in different ideas and opinions is encouraged — and especially that it’s easy and accessible to do so. All students deserve to feel seen and represented on their campus and not like exceptions or alienated because they don’t align with others’ opinions.

How come an engineering major is unable to take a required course for engineering because there aren’t any openings in the class? Students attend this university to study something they are passionate about and something they will turn into a career, but they are inhibited because a classroom is too small.

Real-world experience brings purpose and meaning to why we go to class every day. I believe colleges should adopt a more holistic view of education and encourage learning outside the confines of a classroom. Education should be less about simply learning material for a test and more about applying that material in a real-life setting.
