Are people required to take one of those?

From what I understand though, they are really easy to fit in and a fairly good time as well.

Gah...I was hoping I'd never have to take PE ever again. -.-

Thanks, though!

Really, PE at Cornell can be a lot of fun. They are nothing like what many experienced in high school. There are a lot of fun classes like bowling, badminton, tree climbing, etc.

Huh...tree climbing and bowling do sound like fun

The dancing classes are pretty awesome, but for some of them you are required to sign up with a dance partner.
