@Mastadon thanks for posting about Tufts. That is a nice level of commitment the students have to make!

@DadTwoGirls I always forget about Canada as a destination for French. I feel like it’s not an emphasis for US HS students for some reason but I will remember and research - the French was for my daughter who is in HS, actually. I actually had all my kids go to a one-week language camp with me last summer and it was great. Fantasy life is us all doing a 4 week immersion in the summer where we each go to our separate classes. A mom can dream!

@Mom2aphysicsgeek undergrads are adults! Any school that offers undergrad programs will take adults of any age usually. I have known people who’ve sat in on kids’ Saturday Hebrew or Arabic school as the only adults learning alongside little kids.
