random question for UK friends....

[rivendellrose]

Speaking in a purely stereotypical sense, suppose you met a very pretty young woman (mid- to late-twenties) from a wealthy family (ie, wouldn't ever anticipate needing to work for a living)... if someone asked you to guess what she studied at university, what would your guess be?

I know, completely insane. But there's a method to my madness. Sort of.

Suggestions from US- or other-centric friends would not be amiss... I'm just specifically looking for UK-specific expectations. ;)

Also, has anybody here been to Versailles? And perhaps had occasion to notice what kind of security they have there? I promise I'm not considering breaking in... but I've got some characters who might. *g*

I'd assume arts not sciences, but that may be the female causing me to jump to that conclusion. Also, since you made a point of that she wouldn't have to work I'd guess something not associated with any clear career path, so maybe history or english.

And I probably should've added that the young woman in question is very much not the brightest bulb in the drawer... Looks like I've got a lot of votes for History of Art, so that's what I'm going with. Thanks!

She'd totally fail the part where you have to memorize 300 paintings, who made them, where they came from, and why they're important.

But, I suppose that grades aren't much of an issue in this case ;)
