As a former history major, I loved what I studied. Job prospects weren’t so great after college, but I went back and got an MBA (after trying and not liking law school).

I would recommend going somewhere that will give you lots of money for those excellent grades and test scores for two reasons:

1. Your job prospects won’t be great if you study History

2. Save the money for law school if that’s truly what you want to do.

Look at either private universities like liberal arts colleges, or public university honors colleges. Some you might consider are ASU, Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Miami of Ohio (but it’s preppy), UT Austin, Univ of South Carolina. With the exception of UT, the others throw a lot of money around to attract students like you. The only city schools of these that are enclosed are ASU and UT Austin.

Our friends’ daughter is at JHU. Net cost this past year was $30K, and they’re fairly affluent.

It won’t matter for law school or grad school where you go as much as your grades and test scores.
