Thought summer might be a lull period on CC and a good time for a general question-
How do you start the college search for students who don’t know what they’re looking for?

First time around was easy. S1 knew what he wanted to study, clicked with a school that had a great program in his field of interest, and is now happily attending.

This time is different. S2 is a rising junior, and will start looking into colleges next year. He is stronger in verbal/writing/humanities than math and science, but doesn’t have a favorite subject or any idea what career path he’d like to take. Small (not tiny) to mid-size school preferred, but other than that we’re up in the air. Does this seem to point towards a liberal arts education?
