there were only 2 students interested in taking it!



That's because kids can't be arsed with the difficult subjects, their
whole aim is to go to uni and get any degree they can, which means the
easy ones - Media Studies usually. You can blame the government and
employers for encouraging them, we get grads coming to our company really
proud about their useless degree, and they usually last a couple of months
in engineering, after figuring out their degree is worthless in the real
world and that it's not a quick ticket to superstardom.
