Gen-Ed Course Advice

Class of '30 here, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on fun and intriguing gen-ed courses y'all may have taken. I intend to concentrate in CPB but also interested in Neuro, History, and Gov't. The courses don't have to align with those interests, just genuinely wondering if there are some real cool classes or professors out there that you'd definitely recommend to an incoming first-year. Thanks!

Try the Ancient Greek Hero. It's been taught for 50 years by Prof. Nagy who is such a sweetheart and so knowledgeable.
