I agree that it’s still very early and that most students change majors during college. The best path is generally to choose a school with a broad enough base of subjects to accommodate whatever field the student later chooses.

There are very few disciplines that are usually determined when entering college, eg. 5 yr Architecture or other programs that require a fr portfolio; Engineering, since it can be difficult to transfer into.

For most students, the first two years of college are a time to explore new areas and figure out what they want to major in, as offerings are much more varied than in HS.
