What college location was used?


Does anyone know what college was used as the location to film the father's visits with the Dean? Was it University of Wyoming or somewhere else?

From my knowledge of Los Angeles I can tell you that it was filmed at the Exposition Park Rose Gardens close to USC. I think the building they go into is the Natural History Museum but the statue of the sitting man isn't there anymore.
Here are some pictures:

I think you're right - here's what they say on the 'filming locations' heading on the left for where that scene was filmed:

Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County - 900 Exposition Boulevard, Exposition Park, Los Angeles, California, USA
