<p>I would go so far as to say that it’s more important that the school you choose be an “overall good fit” than being very strong in your intended major. Students change majors very often, for very good reasons; they grow and change, they didn’t know what the major entailed until they get there, or they discover a new, more exciting passion. As long as the major is “strong enough” at the school - has good facilities, good teaching and a range of opportunities within the major- I would be more concerned about other factors.</p>
