Hey guys. So I'm basically a math/sci beast, going premed. I don't really have any interest in studying art or music, and I hate literature with a passion. The only parts of the core curriculum i think i would like are the frontiers of science class, and philosophy. I really want to take many upper-level science courses in college years. To me, college is about doing what you WANT to do. Nonetheless, Columbia students almost always advocate the core curriculum, and how it makes you a more "complete" human.

So how long does the core generally take to complete? Also, for a person like me, do you see any benefit in the core?
