One thing that I noticed when I was in your position was a tendency of
universities to split their departments into (loosely) "Liberal Arts" and
"sciences". The problem with that split is that often, for whatever
reason, the psychology dept. was in the liberal arts and the biology dept
was in the sciences and there was no way to do a double or combined major
between the two (which I wanted to do since I was following my dad's
maxim of keeping as many options open as possible for as long as
possible). I ended up at Columbia College (in NYC) which has an
interdisciplinary biology/psychology degree. I'm sure lots of
universities have such an option; this happened to be the one I picked.
Good Luck!
