When I think of my own college experience, it was awesome the wide variety of classes I was able to take and not slow down my graduation or impede my CS major.
Here are some of my favorites : 4 semesters of performance art, 3D sculpture, linguistics, constructed languages, scuba diving, skiing, tree-climbing, lesbian fiction, singing tutoring, computer graphics (wrote own raytracer), religion in the Middle Ages, history of film, judo, modern dance, Alexander Technique…
I am sure there were more, I was ravenous through the course catalog. I graduated in 2013 fwiw.
So, at least for me, it gave me a huge base of life experience and was extremely enjoyable to study so many subjects. And ended up with a job in tech that made the college cost a non-issue. I’d do it again and have already done it again—I spent two semesters doing more art classes at a local college after the startup I was working on was acquired
