Why do schools offer classes like this?

<p>OP, I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but someone piggybacked on your concern and asked the parents here what “fluff” courses we took in college. We have survived and thrived despite taking classes such as:</p>

<p>Advanced Surfing
The Biology and Appreciation of Companion Animals
The Fairy Tale
Lost Tribes and Sunken Continents
Relaxation (in which the students lie down for an hour)
History of the Horror Film
Pocket Billiards
Flower Arranging</p>

<p>It’s OK to take a few fun/easy classes in college. :)</p>
