"Initially I had no intention of taking any Liberal Education courses. However, once I did they quickly became my favorite classes to be in. Funny enough I enjoyed them so much and took so many of them that I unintentionally gained a Liberal Education minor. What I found out about attending university was that taking courses that I actually enjoyed was the most fulfilling part of my journey. I recommend anyone going to the University of Lethbridge to take at least one course in Liberal Education, because who knows maybe you’ll be like me and stumble upon something great."
