<p>I’m writing a story, and I need a university to at which to set it.</p>

<p>The specifics:
Urban setting (but suburban pockets)
Fairly prestigious
Cold environment (preferably NE but negotiable)
Must offer Scandivian languages</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Columbia has a Swedish language department. Brown teaches Swedish via its German department. Try Googling name of college + language for more ideas.</p>

3

<p>Minnesota.</p>

<p>Didn’t CC once invent a college in the Cafe that was something like Hogwarts?</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions. The Scandivian language ting was really making it difficut (and it does have to be real college, by the way).</p>

6

<p>Harvard would fit your requirements.</p>

7

<p>Saint Olaf - though not particularly urban. Pacific Lutheran - not particularly prestigious (except to some), but urban and Scandinavian. Saint Olaf is COLD, PLU is rainy.</p>

8

<p>cornell isnt exactly urban, but it does have a scandinavian studies department,</p>

9

<p>Brown University offers Swedish…</p>

10

<p>How about U of Chicago?</p>

11

<p>University of Washington, Seattle campus. Uff da!</p>

<p>Harvard offers a few courses in their German department, but UMass-Amherst offers rather more with a full Scandinavian Studies program:</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cold enough for ya? I still remember the -17 day we had last winter. Does have Scandivian langauages (<a href=“http://scandinavian.wisc.edu/);%5B/url%5D”>http://scandinavian.wisc.edu/);</a> prestigous; in a city of 200,000 plus with a metro area probably around 300,000.</p>
