    Just a note for anyone entering college, or are trying to decide on a major… DO NOT CHOOSE ENGINEERING OF ANY TyPE. You will be up for hours a night first playing counter strike/other games, then you will be up even longer doing homework for god knows what classes….sorry for the rant

    Philosophy is an absolutely wonderful subject to study, maybe even major in. Maybe take a introductory course in it. Might change your life. Some criticize it, asking what the hell are ya gonna do with it, well that’s missing the point, the point is, is the point of your life making money?

    I am a CIS major out of school. Dr. Richmond, and Dr. White and WCU in the CIS department are some of if not the best professors at WCU. CIS is the major to be in if you ask me.

    What are you on? Dr. White is a terrible professor. She is really nice, but can’t each AT ALL.

    I have to agree with that, I don’t think I’ve EVER learned anything in Dr. White’s class, at least not from her.
