Guess the Major Based on the Outfit!
Through an absurd oversimplification, one can mistake The King’s College for merely an amalgamation of trench coats, flannels, Doc Martens, sweater vests, and wingtips; however, this is an oversimplification. The King’s College is not just a mass of fabric, it is a hodge-podge of people who have chosen specific fields of study. The question is: do the particular collages of fabric each person has chosen coincide with their field of study? To put it in non-obnoxious language, do people’s majors match their outfits? And, if so, can you identify it? You can?! Alright then, time to put your money where your mouth is, because this is a quiz.
Which major is represented by each outfit? (Hint: there is at least one outfit per every major at King’s.)
PPE! “I was intending to pursue this major even before I knew King’s existed, so once I found this school that was built around this major that I really wanted to pursue I thought it’d be the perfect school.” ~Trey Shell, House of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Humanities! “I love my major, because it is the most holistic major at King’s in my opinion. I get all of the different majors combined into one, and, because it’s so versatile I’ll get hired for a lot of jobs. Also, we don’t have a history major, so that’s the next best thing.” ~Alexa Howard, House of Corrie ten Boom
On left: Finance! “Can I be mean? I think it’s the only valuable major at the college.” ~Brennan Kitson-Jones, House of C.S. Lewis
On right: Business Management! “I would have not done it. I would have done MCA or Humanities. Because I learned that I care more about people and learning about that part of life… but I’m glad I did it.” ~Luke Gainey, House of Winston Churchill
JCS! “You better believe I cameoed in my own article! I haven’t taken a single JCS class yet (being a freshman), but the community of the EST has been extremely welcoming and willing to let me try new things, which has been lovely! Thanks guys!" ~Matthew Peterson, House of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Business Management! “Even though I’m a business major, because of The King’s College’s core curriculum and the different minors that I’m pursuing, I’m able to get a lot of the really interesting PPE type stuff… while still getting that practical skill set that will help me later in the business world.” ~Sean Ayerst, House of Winston Churchill
MCA! “I love it. It’s so much more interesting than any other major on campus, objectively.” ~Aidan Kurth, House of Winston Churchill
English! “I think it’s great. I don’t know if I fit in, because I’m also in politics and international affairs.The professors are great. All three of the English department.” ~Bella Maleigh, House of Sojourner Truth
PPE! “I like the PPE major. I think it encompasses a lot of things that interest me and I like that you can involve things like business or religion.” ~ Noah (Reed) Barrett, House of C.S. Lewis
RTS! “I love RTS. It’s a really broad major– you can do whatever you want with it.” ~Greta Williams, House of Clara Barton
Philosophy! “I think that the philosophy major is great if you are someone who is not very interested in economics but you are extremely interested in especially the history of philosophy… My whole family has always been interested in philosophy since I was young–it’s always been a passion. And it also, as a major, has the highest LSATs.” ~Josiah Mill, House of Ronald Reagan
PPE! “I can’t imagine going to a school and being a different major…except RTS. That probably explains the outfit.” ~Graeme Straughn, House of C.S. Lewis
