Sorry, Miskatonic U is where many of the original HP lovecraft stories were set. It'd be the perfect setting for the "Dawn's been kidnapped again, must be Tuesday" cliche.
2) If Dawn was giving in to cliche.... Miskatonic University for sure.

I figured she'd try and "go native" in England (like one of my friends did). And I'm really curious. I've only read one fic where Dawn went to MU, while I've read at least a dozen where she went to Giles' alma mater. Hmmm...have I been Jossed?

I'm a UCR grad myself... I love the 'Cannibal Women' ref (yes it is a real movie, folks)... I had some classes in that steep stadium-style lecture hall (it's in the old Physics building and has a turntable floor under the teaching station) and that wavy roof over the Jeep is the main library awning.... my ex lived in the apartment complex they used for the pool scenes, too.

Hope the fic brought back happy memories...I left out the smog 'cause nobody would believe it.

Absolutely loved the last one, if a bit obscure. You got the tone and sentiment of the town just right. Despite their "growth" I wouldnt have expected to see my hometown mentioned. Thanks for the laugh!
Are you from Bako? Or did you go to CSUB?

I was worried someone was gonna sic Central Valley vamps on me (oh, wait--that's Fresno)...glad I didn't offend. I only went for a research conference, years ago.
