<p>Latin for beginners?
Thank you.</p>
<p>Oh yes, I think many do! It’s easy to check, though, just go to the Classics department website of the college in question and look at their course offerings. Why do you want to take Latin, though? I’m curious. I took Latin for six years and found it highly enjoyable but now I am left with a little bit of the feeling that my grade school language choice was misspent.</p>
<p>I’d imagine a lot of them do.</p>
<p>I tried googling “Intro to Latin” with names of colleges and all I got were Latin American literature courses. But I’ll look at the Classics department, thanks, I didn’t think of that! :(</p>
<p>williams000: I’m not really sure. I have a wide variety of academic interests that I can’t really give reasons for. 
I’m hoping I can explore at least some of those in college and decide which ones I’m really passionate about.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to steer you either way (or maybe I am…), but if you are interested in a semi-complicated, highly mathematical (lots of rules, very logical construction) language, you might be better off with something like German. It is surely more useful than Latin and especially, so I’ve heard, in the math/science circles of academia.</p>
<p>Latin is fun, but is a little bit of an exercise in futility.</p>
<p>My whole life plan is a bit of an exercise in futility to most people. 
I’ll think about it, though, thanks!</p>
<p>This might help as a quick reference:</p>

<p>Of course, many colleges offer Latin but do not necessarily have a Classics department. Check out the LCTL website for the most detailed list.</p>

<p>I think nearly every college offers Latin… Many who are pre-med or pre-law take Latin.</p>
<p>Here are some colleges that give good merit $$ to NMF. However, some have application deadlines in a few days, so if you want to apply to some of them as your financial safeties, you’ll need to apply this weekend. Some have very easy apps. </p>
