<p>I’d prefer that my kids went to College B. I’d like them to have the opportunity to take lots of electives that interest them, and to be educated in a wide range of subjects. I’d like them to have a chance to explore a bit before having to choose a major. And I think it would be easier to finally settle on a major at this type of school. At a school like School A, a student who is torn between two interests might feel that picking one will totally eliminate the chance to study the other… thus making it harder to choose between the two. At School B, they could choose a “practical” major (that maybe isn’t super interesting) but still have the chance to take courses in another area that they find more intriguing or personally fulfilling.</p>
