Binghamton offers a minor in Turkish Studies and a major in Arabic, so those languages would be covered. Although it’s New York’s flagship, it’s about 15k undergrads and lists several study abroad opportunities in Arabic-speaking countries. It’s a strong university in many fields and, reportedly, has been seeking to bring more top students from out-of-state so it’s been willing to show them some nice merit aid.
Bloomington, the home of Indiana University, is not a big city but it’s surprisingly cosmopolitan. There are Tibetan, Thai, Indian, Afghani, and many other ethic cuisines offered in the city’s restaurants. The touring Broadway productions frequently stop at the IU auditorium. It has one of the top music programs in the U.S. (if not the world) and there are hundreds of concerts and recitals every year. And there are Big 10 sports. At IU, or most other big colleges, your son would likely stand a good chance of acceptance in the honors colleges which helps make a bigger campus feel smaller and provide additional benefits.
