<p>What are some colleges that really help guiding you if you don't know what you would like to major in?</p>
<p>Any school with a strong and personal advising system, close faculty-student relationships, and a core curriculum that requires you to take classes across a broad range of subject areas. Many smaller liberal arts colleges fit the bill, but smaller universities can also. Just ask lots of questions about advising, faculty-student interaction, internships, and core curriculum. And remember that the majority of college students will change their major at least once, so there's nothing wrong with going in undecided.</p>
<p>IN FACT, I would suggest not being closeminded and determined in just one area. A large portion of students discover new interests and change their goals after coming to collee. It's encouraged and common. It happened to me.</p>
<p>Our oldest daughter started out "undecided." Our third daughter is a junior, so we're in that search phase again. My suggestion to an undecided student would be to start with some major, any major. It seems better to start with any major and switch when you've found a stronger preference, than to start in the pool of "undecided."</p>
<p>I'd pick a small, selective liberal arts school</p>
<p>I'd go for a big one, where there're a whole variety of majors for you to choose from.</p>
<p>check out Sarah Lawrence, Reed, and Hampshire</p>
<p>I think NC State has a freshman dorm for undecided kids.</p>
<p>Check out the book "Colleges That Change Lives". It's about colleges that nurture and help students to "find themselves".</p>
<p>I know someone who went to Emory as a freshman. He actually got in ED. At the time he was decided on a major but once there he found he was no longer interested in that major. He decided to transfer to a larger school because Emory seemed to be limited and he wanted more options available for him to explore. I think for someone who is undecided you want to be sure you have a wide variety of academic offerings available to you. It isn't always only a large school that will provide that. Look on different school's websites - thoroughly browse course selections/offerings and see how wide and varied it appears. It really varies from school to school. Something else to keep in mind - as a freshman make sure you contact the career center at the college you go to and stay involved with them. They will be very helpful in assisting you through the process of determining a major and paths to take along the way.</p>
<p>Some colleges consider EVERYONE "undecided." No one at my alma mater (small liberal arts college) designated a major until the 2nd semester of sophomore year.</p>
<p>I think you want an institition with a good commitment to liberal arts principles. That can be a large place, of course. You want a place who encourages and expects students to explore fields rather than buckling down and starting to specialize early.</p>
