What college are you people going to? I never saw any of these, not even as clubs, at Waterloo.

Cornell. The specific classes are: Introduction to Wines: https://sha.cornell.edu/admissions-programs/undergraduate/academics/courses/food-beverage-management/hadm4300/ https://sha.cornell.edu/admissions-programs/undergraduate/ac... Introduction to Handgun Safety: https://courses.cornell.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=31&coid=493657 https://courses.cornell.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=... Cross Country Skiing: https://scl.cornell.edu/coe/pe-courses/spring-pe-courses/snow-sports/xcskiing https://scl.cornell.edu/coe/pe-courses/spring-pe-courses/sno... Swedish Massage: https://courses.cornell.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=31&coid=493634 https://courses.cornell.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=... Ballroom Dance: https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP20/class/PE/1153 https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP20/class/PE/1153 Of course the advantage of going to Waterloo is that you can probably pass the Google coding interviews.

  I clearly wasted my time with English Lit, Modern European History, Linguistics and German in my first year at University!

    Don't feel bad. I wasted my time with Soviet Studies. Oops.

      Something tells me that that is still pretty relevant...

  I mean, Cornell is an Ivy, not a regional school.

  I thought you were joking, but handgun safety really is a college class... Just wow.
  - Alex3917 6y ago
    It makes sense, given there are academic fields where a gun might be needed. E.g. if your research involves inventorying songbirds in the jungles of Colombia or whatever. Even in the U.S. a lot of mycologists carry weapons, so if they get shot at while accidentally stumbling on an illegal weed grow or whatever they can shoot back.

      The description looks like it's about competition, not just safety, akin to a class on poker. Perhaps the title is a bit of spin for defensive reasons.

        Thats what I was thinking, safety is critical, but an easy 2 day class. There are so many more interesting angles for engineering students to approach handguns whether self defense (more Bondish) or marksmanship, engineering principles etc.

      Laughed at that, cheers bro :)

    Svalbad University has an, AFAIK mandatory, course that includes learning hot to shoot a rifle: https://www.unis.no/course/as-101-arctic-survival-and-safety-course/ https://www.unis.no/course/as-101-arctic-survival-and-safety... In most of Svalbad you need to carry a rifle to defend yourself against polar bears.

  "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." -Ezra Cornell. I'm not sure if they're offered anymore, but they used to have Basic Rifle Marksmanship and Epee de Guerre. My friend once told me he thought my major was "weapons".

I took Introduction to Wine Science as my 'non engineering' course. Lab component was tasting - but you had to spit it out. It was one of the hardest courses I took at university - so much memorization of various wine regions around the world, grape varietals, etc.

    Thus the 'strictly hypothetical' part after the club got too many complaints for getting peoples hopes up.
