<p>I met some Finns in Denmark, and they were just as morose as advertised. Maybe on their home turf they are different.</p>
<p>I heard zero humor in Denmark re Sweden or Norway. Or Iceland, for that matter. My impression was that the Swedes were considered roughly the quivalent of Californians, Danes New Yorkers, Norwegians Midwesterners, and Finns Alaskans. </p>
<p>By the way, Katliamom, BC is not a “liberal arts college” and is in every sense a “university” (it just doesn’t have the word “university” in its name because some other school down the street grabbed it). Over the years there have been people who have tried to get the name changed to Boston College University or Boston Catholic University, etc. But most people associated with it are happy with just plain “Boston College,” even if it is quite misleading.</p>
