novel recs?

Can anybody recommend some good novels set at universities? Two of my favorites are Tam Lin by Pamela Dean (which I've been rereading bits of this past week) and Braided Lives by Marge Piercy...

How's this for pure randomosity? I love, love, love Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, and its rare to find a fellow TL lover, so I just wanted to say, yay us!

But what I was really coming by to say was that [livejournal.com profile] soundingsea pointed me to your memories because I was trying to find non-eye sporking Willow/Giles, and your memories are a TREASURE TROVE, and my eyes are now safe, and it's all because of the two of you. I owe you my ability to see, and I thought you should know. :)

Oh, and Charles de Lint doesn't have anything set at a university that I recall, but his lyrical style is similar, I think, to Pamela Dean's. If you get desperate, I'd recommend Memory and Dream or one of his short story collections if you're limited on time. They tend to all be sorts of interrelated, which I love. Dreams Underfoot is the one that hooked me.

In any case, thank you, you are a life saver, and if you found it in your heart to friend me (even temporarily) so that I could read your W/G stuff, that would be very much with the awesome. :)
