<p>The odd thing I notice on these forums is that some people seem get it backward in that they recommend that a student who is very undecided about major go to a small school which is much more likely to be specialized in its course offerings, so that has decent offerings in a smaller set of possible majors than most larger schools.</p>
<p>Small LAC-model schools do have their advantages, but it does seem odd that people recommend them to students who are more likely to run into their limitations.</p>
<p>Of course, this really has little to do with public versus private, as it has more to do with small versus large and LAC model versus RU model versus other models.</p>
