From talking to my older daughters peers- some of whom transferred out of Reed because of money/grades, it sounds like designing your own major can be a workable option for those people who maybe got bumped out of their engineering or architecture major ( as an example), but still wanted to retain that as a focus for their degree. ( or at least have the credits earned go towards their needed requirements)

College is pretty expensive to take longer than 5 or so years for an undergrad degree when you bomb out of Ochem or C++.

However- there are still schools like Evergreen where all the programs are self designed & I have known some very successful people who chose that path from the beginning.
