My university is going through a bit of a green life crisis

My university has been debating a lot of racial stuff lately.

But recently someone posted this photo:

Which was a balsy move because my university is a purely prestigious engineering university (no arts courses like MIT) and it got 1000 likes, which is interesting because most of them there are asian international students and have the attitude of "arts students dont contribute to the world and are a waste of space while engineers provide all the value" the comments were supportive of this picture. I'm not from the US, how interesting.

Integrate the two.

These are foolish dichotomies and false either/or choices.

universities divide the 2 by saying an arts course is an arts course and an engineering course is an engineering course

The renaissance was the time period where arts and science were combined (like leonardo da vinci's work). 

And universities will keep it that way until they wise up, and the engineering and arts departments stop spitting on each other.

The mistake there is taking universities too seriously.

Be an independent thinker. Nothing is stopping you from taking whatever combination of classes you want.

Be careful not to get caught up in petty social squabbles. Focus on creating your life as you want it.

yep, you're going against the herd that way but I guess that's a requirement of this work.
