When I went to college in 1989, I went to the University of Wyoming.  In my 
years there, I was always surprised at the numbers of scandanavians there for 
engineering or computer science.  Your educational stipend might help explain 
it, though.  With a stipend like that at a less expensive school like UWyo, 
all you are left to cover, really, is your living expenses.
