Personally i learn it just for fun, and i like how similar romance languages are to Latin.

I don't know if it is anymore but they had a few things that were for classical learning and sorta tradition. Like calligraphy when I went was optional but I believe just a few years before it had been mandatory to have it for a semester or two.
