Best Colleges for Anime Enthusiast?

Several schools have freshman seminars/living learning communities where the kids are assigned to the same writing class freshman year. I remember that several of these were anime-focused.

Here’s one from Gettysburg - with their program everyone in your living cluster would be taking this same class, so you are guaranteed a roommate and neighbors who also love anime and Japanese culture:

Here’s one from WUSTL

UNC has one too, but you have to look for the word ‘anime’ on this page to find it:

I’d suggest looking at the catalogues of colleges that you’ve selected for other ‘fit’ reasons, and searching on the word ‘anime’. Many colleges now include it in discussions of culture, writing, art, and so forth.

You might also search in the clubs section of college websites. Many, many colleges have an anime club.
