Do you think that colleges need to have better food options available for the students they serve?

I think that colleges need to have better food options available for their students in three ways. One was is to have a variety of options and using the food pyramid as a guide. By having variety, you have more grains available along with a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh dairy and poultry options and limit the use of fats, oils, and sweets. Another way is not having the food be a buffet style (like the Golden Corral for example) and instead a student can only has to go in line only once and tell a cafeteria worker what they would like to eat because if a student eats way too many calories in a day and they are unable to burn off the calories, they will gain weight. Finally, universities need to ask students what kind of options they would like to see available at the school so that the college cooks for what is in the students interest.

Colleges and high schools with practical courses?

Courses/degrees in areas that woud be practical to someone in military/law enforcement/similar? Like gun proficiency, vehicle handling, strategy, tactics, wound treatment, survival, evasion, concealment…random skills like breath holding? Honestly even at a military academy the degrees are like engineering, physics, math…I want to do something real.
I mean what degree would be most relevant to that sort of career? I know there isn’t such a thing as a special forces degree…I’m wondering what, of the degrees that do exist, would be most relevant for someone who wants to get in combat and dangerous situations?

Wilderness survival colleges?

Next year it’s off to college for me. I’ve already been accepted to a few colleges, but I’m still looking at my options.

Are there any colleges where I can get an actual degree in wilderness survival? So I could become a ‘survivalist’?
