ART VS. LIFE

It is just me or does everything revolve around itself. Ever since school at SVA started I've felt that I was some sort of test monkey. Drawing class revolves around every other class. But as I questioned more teachers they say it was just a coincidence. It is ok because if we're learning about Giotto in the Early Renaissance we are actually learning about the technique in painting and looking at the poetry and writtings of that time in English. Either that or that what my advisors said was all coming true. Do art schools really narrow you down completly to only art, leaving out sports, and clubs? I've tried looking for sports clubs in New York City that offers soccer for women online but they all seem overly complicated. NYU has sports teams, why can't SVA. And what clubs do we have, does it really have to be only the Art club? Are we prone to just give up or it is a fight for the fittest?
