Many Universities and colleges make students take foreign languages if they have not already had it in High school. I feel this is not a necessary class for everyones major. Why is it important to take a foreign language when you field of study does not need it. While some students struggle even writing english papers what makes them think they can understand another language. Taking a foreign language can take up a class space during the semester which makes your time in school longer.

 

The other side can say, It can make you more fluent with other cultures or the way you think.

It can help you get into a better workplace or a higher position.

 

I feel that the whole language policy is a waste of time and the students money.
