<p>My D is in a very small major. It happens to be the marquee major at her school and is spectacularly well-funded. They gave her keys to the lab on her first day of classes and she knows everyone in the department. She has gotten unbelievable attention, including people coming across books, opportunities and even an internship that mesh with her specific interest. I’m not sure I would be wild about a small major that’s not well-funded or might be teetering on the edge, but in this case, it totally worked out. Oh, and they have visiting scholars every semester who usually stay for two years before moving on. These are the top folks in their field.</p>
