What do y'all think they are?

Some of my favorites are BIOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, and PHYSICS, but I'm not familiar with any rare majors, so it'd be helpful if y'all could name some.

Thanks.

I'm going to have to agree with Philosophy, but maybe i'm a little biased (its my major at the moment)

Well, you majored in it because you think it's interesting! Your opinion on the matter hardly biased!

Pre and Early Modern Literary Studies.

Okay, well it's not so odd (pre 20th century literature), but isn't the name cool?

I've always secretly wanted to major in Library Studies

Fundamentals: Issues and Texts at the University of Chicago might be my all time favorite. Basically what you do is you ask a "big question" and then design your major to help you answer it. Then, junior year you write a paper answering said question and in senior year you take a series of oral and written exams designed specifically for you by the professors guiding your program. It is amazing.

PHILOSOPHY...i love neitszche, freud, kant wow and all the rest, the best part is philosophy goes into the greek times and through the mid ages.. for background i like books relating to illuminati (skulls and bones is apart of that) and i've always been fascinated by things like that (stonehenge, georgia guidestones etc)
