Foreign Language

On Monday at school, all foreign language classes met in the Lecture Center and the teachers talked about continuing foreign language through high school and college, among other things.

That got me curious, so I checked out the foreign language programs of the 26 colleges in which I am interested.
Those that I judged to have the best options for French and Spanish with enough other variety:
Cal Berkeley, Harvey Mudd*, University of Washington, Wisconsin-Madison, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, and Purdue.
* Harvey Mudd doesn't actually have its own language program, but it's part of a group of five colleges in the same town. Everyone takes classes at the other colleges, and Pomona has an awesome looking language program.

Those that I judged to have the worst options for French and Spanish, even if they had variety, which some didn't:
Cal Tech, Michigan - Ann Arbor, MIT, Missouri-Rolla, Maryland.

The other 13 were somewhere in the middle.
