<p>However, if a student goes to a school without his/her intended major (or has a weak department in it), then s/he may have to transfer to another school if s/he is one of the 25% to 40% who does not change major.</p>
<p>There is no point in do a lot of research on the school, visiting, applying, etc. if it is academically unsuitable for the student’s likely academic path.</p>
<p>A student who is uncertain about major should favor schools with a good selection of majors that s/he may be interested in. But this criterion does favor larger schools in general. Then again, if the student is really going for the “college experience” and does not care that much about what s/he majors in, then s/he may deprioritize the selection of majors.</p>
