I think that you make a valid point. Our campus was designed to keep arts and science separate. It is hard to appreciate all the subjects UCLA has to offer when our campus was engineered to make you choose art over science or vice versa. You asked the question "what majors lay in the middle of these two extremities?" I'm not entirely certain that there are any majors at UCLA that require both a great knowledge of art and science. We all have to fulfill a certain amount of general education units that satisfy both art and science requirements before we graduate. I think that these GE requirements are UCLA's attempt to bridge liberal arts majors and science majors together. If this method actually works is up for debate. elisezappiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750379377877451001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182213904548123924.post-20399329460891322702016-04-05T11:59:29.772-07:002016-04-05T11:59:29.772-07:00It's interesting that you mentioned the stereo...It's interesting that you mentioned the stereotypes on North and South campuses. My education background is largely scientific, and my feelings toward North and South campus classes are exactly the opposite of the stereotypes you mentioned. My experience might help to explain the underlying reason for segregation between the two cultures. When allocating my time and classes, I tend to spend all my time on the topics I'm interested in, which happen to be in the science field. It's easy for me to forget there is another whole group of people who see the world differently. There is nothing wrong with focusing on one's personal pursuit. But it's also important to acknowledge or attempt to understand different perspectives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053621304912051606noreply@blogger.com
