    Do not even worry about it m8. When you get into college your first year or two just take your basic courses and some expirement courses. That way you will kinda of be able to figure out what you might want to do. Most people do not know what they want to do until they are halfway done with college.

    look at colleges where it is easy to change majors since, chances are, you won't get it right the first time.

    also try applying to a college's undecided or general curriculum major paths. those normally provide a wide variety of studies so you can figure out what you like.

    most people go to college as undecided.

    yeah but some colleges make you declare something when you apply so you should visit and ask what their policy is

    that is very rare. Colleges actually allow you to change your major until your junior year (3rd year). So I actually dont believe that.

    All of the colleges I have applied to, I have applied as undecided, and I doubt it will be detrimental to whether or not I am accepted.

    well I know the University of Illinois makes you wait 2 year to change majors so that type of thing could get in the way of an easy switch. I'm just he should ask colleges he is interested in what their policies are about majors and change them.

    schools that have a very competitive sections and more laid back sections tend to have restrictions on when you can change majors

    Yep, go get drunk, get laid, come down with a case or two of gonorrhea, maybe get busted for drinking underage, and then realized you're f*cked when your junior year rolls around and you haven't done anything productive for the past two years.

    I love playing Devil's advocate.
