I did a quick check of best schools for science and the only schools listed were either big or huge. I think for him what I'd look at is a solid all-around school where he's happy and can do well and think progressively larger schools for graduate and PhD work. I personally like the idea of changing schools as you progress to get a larger world view on your subject.

I think a major in one of the sciences with a minor in a liberal arts program would be a great mix. To become like my boyfriend Neil DeGrasse Tyson, you need both the hard geek ability AND the ability with the social sciences. And the outlook for the medical sciences is very good right now. If not for a career, what's it all worth?
