University or Liberal Arts school better for the undecided?

<p>I'm not sure what I'd like to major in yet so I'm going to be going into college undecided. But a university will have more courses available than liberal art schools right? Because I'm thinking about applying to this liberal art school but what if it turns out that I don't want to major in something related to liberal arts? So will I be better off just looking at universities because there will be more choices?</p>

<p>A LAC will better help you find your way to a major.
A University will offer more majors to pick from when you do choose.</p>

<p>It's all in the environment you want really. You can always transfer, just pick a place you'll be happy until that happens</p>

<p>Well do you have some idea, and or deciding between a few areas (like you know you want to major in a hard science, but aren't sure which one) or do you have absolutely no idea? I think that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Its unlikely that you'd want a major only available in a U*and* that you could get into. For example, theater arts and engineering are commonly found at U's but not LACs. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to get into these programs once you're in the U; the requirements for admission are strict and they have so many required courses that if you've spent a year at college doing something else you've more or less missed the boat.</p>

<p>As for other majors, the U has more of them but it doesn't really matter that much as far as career/future goes. For any specialized major the real prep for the field is in grad school. For example, a LAC may not have neuroscience but if you find an interest in it then a bio or similar degree from a LAC will qualify you for a PhD program.</p>

<p>The feel of a LAC and a U is very different. I'd suggest visiting examples of both and finding out whats right for you, rather than simply picking a U to keep every possible door open.</p>
