At my uni, we technically have a rule banning pocket knives on campus, but because we have engineering and animal science students on campus, it's not a big deal when you see people carry pocket knives.

I think my university had similar, however almost every engineering student had one....

Animal science I get, but why do engineering students need them?

For stripping wires, making small modifications to 3D prints, cutting tape, etc

Probably for cutting boxes and opening bags. You never know what you might need a knife for until you do.

it's for threatening slow walkers who are blocking the way from the eng students' fifth to sixth lecture of the day across campus after getting out of a 2 hour shitty lab period
