<p>Actually, Big State Universities may be better places for the undecided to explore, since there are more different courses and majors available than the usually smaller liberal arts colleges (some liberal arts colleges, like Harvey Mudd College and Sarah Lawrence College, are specialty schools emphasizing majors in a specific area, with only limited courses available in other areas). Community colleges may be another place for the undecided to explore if it is likely that it will take more than two years to decide, or if a late switch to a major with long prerequisite chains (e.g. physics or engineering) is a possibility, since there is less institutional and financial pressure to decide quickly, though the obvious disadvantage is the inability to take upper level courses before reaching junior standing, and the necessity to transfer to complete a bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>Liberal arts colleges do have their advantages, like usually smaller size and smaller class sizes, and more focus on undergraduates. But limited courses and majors can be a significant limitation. Advanced students who want to take graduate level courses as undergraduates may find the lack of graduate level courses at many liberal arts colleges a disadvantages.</p>
