Rowan College in New Jersey hosts an anime convention in January

I saw this as the first entry on this list. If you scan the list of conventions, you’ll see that many are sponsored by college anime clubs, I saw Christopher Newport, University of Maryland, and UNC Charlotte before I got bored looking. I suspect any college with a club active enough to put on a convention will have a wide variety of people she can relate to.
