[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that visiting schools and doing the campus tour will help.

Other criteria he can consider to narrow the focus:
Flixible/open curriculum vs some/many requirements
Possibility of a double major
Four year residential college or move off campus
Class size
Class structure - lecture vs discussion based (math can be discussion based,)
Any possible interests in applied math - computational biology, environmental math, quantitative economics,  etc.
Does he prefer problem sets with a few hard problems or more straight forward
Collaborative vs competitive
Schools with geographic diversity
Access to outdoor recreation, big city events, walkable to shops
Is a car needed

Thank you for the detail. Helpful, I did think in terms of these at all.

He likes computational biology and also economics. Also very strongly prefers problem sets with few hard problems. I have seen him work on problems that took him several days to solve. He absolutely likes those kind of problems. No tolerance whatsoever if the problems are straight forward. Just would not do them.
