How would dating be different if we only dated based on college majors?
English
They will absolutely have a strong opinion on the Oxford comma and hate it when you think all they do is read Shakespeare. Don’t expect to go on many evening dates, as they will be indulging in copious amounts of dense literature every night. Prepare to constantly be asked, “Can you read something for me?”

They can be found working out in the school gym, sleeping in the school gym or anywhere in the general vicinity of the gym.

These majors are great to date if you have trouble with citations; they can pretty much perform annotated bibliographies in their sleep – when they actually have time to sleep.

Tend to zone-out to sketch out schematics of robotic things on your wall.

Math is their love language.

They have big hearts and will most likely want to try lesson plans on you, so be ready to pretend you are a 3rd grader for the duration of the relationship. Hope that isn’t too weird. . .
Music

Unless you are a bassoon or practice room, you will never see any of these people during the light of day. So, if you see a cute alto or percussionist walking around don’t get your hopes up – they are far too busy trying to pass piano proficiency to pay any attention to you.
Business
This major loves to party, so be ready for endless weekends of keg-stands. Sure, business isn’t the most exciting major to study, but they’re all about dollars, not the diploma, right?
Theatre Arts
Prepared to go to every show and every cast-party. Realize that theatre majors are in general very incestuous; they have already dated or hooked-up with every person in their program. If they are dating you, it means they have run out of people to date.
Anthropology

They don’t know exactly what they are doing with their lives, so don’t ask.

Trust me, “I can program in Java, C/C++, Perl, Unix and even some Fortran” is probably the sexiest pick up line you could say to a millennial.
