Figure drawing. It taught me how to see. The professor was absolutely amazing, and the stuff he taught us was as much about life as it was about drawing. This led to later courses in painting and photography that expanded on this. I almost became a professional photographer, but I realized that the art was addictive for me in an unhealthy way. I would get lost in my art and forget to eat, sleep, etc. While exhilarating, that was not the life I wanted to lead. Note that the quality of the professor matters much more than the specific medium for most art courses, imho.
