This, exactly. Not to mention, it'd mean that Foggy already knows all those people who also did Columbia undergrad and then stayed there for law school. Maybe he and Marci actually met in undergrad. And, and, Columbia undergrad program is pretty interesting. I see Foggy doing the Human Rights major, because it was international enough to suit his interests, but also theoretical enough to then allow for choosing a variety of different grad schools. But then he kind of got really into it, and it influenced his future decisions a lot.
But it also influenced with worldview, his stance on the 'what is legal v. what is moral' question as well as his much more pragmatic and realistic view of the law (at least when compared to Matt). Experience tells me that the most idealistic and also most disappointed people find themselves in the fields of human rights and international law. Those branches are more make-believe than other by their virtue as an artificial construct of States.
So, dabbling in Human Rights in undergrad would have curbed Foggy's idealism, but would also provide him with the drive to be a lawyer.
