<p>Just an opinion: College is really expensive and most schools offer a breadth and depth of coursework that will not be available to you except as a student. Languages, on the other hand, can be learned at any community college or with a private instructor at any time in your life. I’m not saying don’t study a language in college at all - in fact, advanced study in one or more languages may be essential for your career goals - but intro classes in lots of languages are not the highest value added that you can get out of a college education.</p>
