Same here, at UVA. There was no math class below calculus. Everyone had to take two years of foreign language, three semesters of English comp/lit, two semesters of science. The only easy path was geology for the science requirement (”rocks for jocks.”) The second semester of chemistry (organic) was a nightmare for non-science majors like me; half the students in the class were pre-med (or thought they were!)
