He is an 18 year old who is not sure about what he wants to study. Pushing him to decide on a major and then picking a school for that is not necessarily viable solution. Odds are heavy for a change of major and that’s fine. I would make a spread sheet, add cost, fit, location, strong majors, flexibility to change major, ranking, prestige, job placement, alumni support etc. While doing the mundane drill, your minds would process this issue in a better way then picking the cheapest one.

If your family has a high EFC, $75k in college fund, an accountant and only one kid, chances are you can afford all of these options. You don’t have to or want to but look at whole picture to come to best decision and to find best value.
