The physical education requirement was pretty fun. I mean, if you can take 'pistol' to satisfy it, how much can you really complain.
On the other hand, I didn't understand why we had to pass a swim test.

Not sure why they dropped it.
I use it to find out what the popular websites are for freshmen who don't want to pay attention to lectures. Turns out people who won't stop talking in class really like 9gag.
(Interestingly, Columbia College has to take it, but the engineering school abolished the requirement about a decade ago. Most people incorrectly believe it's because 'engineers can build things; they don't need to swim', but the truth is that there was a miscommunication, and the engineering school removed the requirement because they thought that Columbia College already had.).
