College general education classes

I feel that it is not necessary for colleges to make such high demands on the amount of credits needed for general education classes. If you are unsure about what to major in when going into freshman year that student should take it upon him/herself and their advisor to take a wide range of topic to see which one suits them. If you know going into the fisrt year that you want to major in something that you feel is what you want to do there is no need for wasting all that time and money. I took around three full semesters worth of gen. ed. classes and looking back I wasted a lot of time and money. International politics, and physical geology along with many more were no where near needing for me to take it to handle a physical education class in the health room and on the gym floor. Along with the prices of things on the campus like books, clothing, food, and much more are way to expensive and then they take more from you for 2 years of un-needed classes.
