School and Major: Example and Homework Can you tell me about your university and major?I went to Chicago University in Illinois. I chose this university because it has a good reputation and I wanted to move away from home and be more independent. My major was Philosophy because I always enjoyed reading books by famous philosophers. My favorite class was Ethics, because we had many interesting discussions in that class. It was taught by my favorite professor, Dr. Unger. He was a very challenging professor. He also taught my least favorite class, which was Logic. I didn’t like Logic, because there were too many formulas to memorize. Dr. Smith was my least favorite professor, because his lectures were very boring. I passed all of my classes and graduated in 2001.
