More than four years of foreign language?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm currently a junior in high school, and I'm in Spanish 5 (I've been taking Spanish since middle school). I really want to do Spanish 6 next year, but my parents think it's a waste of time. I know that a lot of universities like seeing four years of a foreign language, but is it encouraged to take more than four years of a language?</p>

<p>I want to major in architecture (I've been in an architecture class in my high school since freshman year and I plan on taking another architecture course in my senior year), but I also want to minor in Spanish. Do colleges also like seeing that you're persistent and dedicated towards the courses you're taking or does that not really matter much?</p>

<p>Why would it be a waste of time? You have to go to school regardless. What would you otherwise be taking?</p>

<p>It’s not really encouraged that you take more than four years of a language, because most high schools only offer four years. But it’s certainly not bad, so long as you’re meeting your requirements in every other subject. Taking Spanish 6 would be better than taking some random elective, if that’s what you’re asking.</p>
