Yes, college courses can be expensive and that is something to think about, but taking one or two classes that you are interested in can completely change your views.
My first semester of college I took a sign language class. It wasn't require for my major but I have always wanted to learn. That class was amazing. I loved it. After taking this class I even looked into a Communication Disorders minor. Taking a class outside of the required can open your eyes to other options or sides to your degree.
College can become long and hard, so having a fun class can be a relief. A lot of people take bowling or tennis for the hell of it. Have an interest in dinosaurs? Take a paleontology class. Like space? Take an astronomy class. There are classes for everything even if they aren't on your "list of classes". Taking a class that is random and fun can help your brain take a break from the repetitiveness of your major. Your brain needs a break sometimes. College can be fun... so have fun learning.
Just think about it...
It is an option...
