@liska21 I don’t know for sure yet, but I don’t think we would choose a school for a particular program. I just read that over half of college freshman change their majors. I think we are more likely to keep that in mind. I’m more afraid of him choosing a school for a particular interest and then wanting to change and finding that his college does not have a well-regarded program for that new major. I guess that’s why, at least at this early stage, I’m prone to prefer schools that have many strong programs and a strong alumni connection for intern experiences, etc. If he starts out in the sciences at a big state school (possibly in some honors program) but then wants to switch to History, that program might not mean a whole lot.
