Help my boyfriend pick an overseas university? Please?

My boyfriend is having trouble picking an overseas university to go to for a semester (whatever you call your Christmas to summer semester).

Here are the countries he's interested in:

England, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, Finland and Norway


He's looking for a place that's either very old or very awesome, has a lot of stuff to do, has things that are close by but out of that city to do as well, so he might be able to go bike riding around the place for a while or do day trips, are really nice cities/towns, and so on. He likes forests, really interesting old buildings, different landscapes, and 'European stuff' (??), festivals that don't necessarily mean just getting smashed...

He does not speak a second language but he's doing Maths so he's not sure if that'll be a big problem in terms of study.

He's also looking for towns/cities that aren't too expensive to live in.




Here are the universities:

England:



University of East Anglia
University of Exeter
University of Leeds


France:


Université Pierre Mendès France
Université d'Avignon et des pays de Vaucluse
Université Stendhal, Grenoble 3
[Sorry, I have no idea which towns these are in]

I know these are a lot of countries and universities but if by chance you know anything about these towns or countries or universities and can tell us/him perhaps it'll help him shorten his list!

Thanks!
