<p>As you can probably tell, there are lots of options, even among the most selective of schools, which have all of the majors that you’re interested in. I recommend you try to determine where in the nation you’d like to be, what sort of atmosphere you’d like (liberal, arty, sport-centered, frat-dominated, etc.), what sort of surroundings you’d prefer (urban, suburban, rural), and how large a school you’re interested in as well so that you can narrow down your choices into a shorter list.</p>
