What matters more? University or Major?
Answer

It has been eight years since I graduated. Maybe I could give some advice to some students and their parents. Some big companies in China focus more on the reputation of a school. In the opinion of the big companies, the greater schools like Peking and Tsinghua Universities are, the strong learning ability their students have.

As for the major, I think you need to think more about some major that the society can accept. Like philosophy, there is less students could choose, even if you have been enrolled in Peking university.

To be frank, a god major should be the first choice of a student. YOU need to know which is more important in the future. If you choose a major that you don't like or don't good at, you might be disappoint at your career in the future.
