I do not recommend the School of Oriental and African Studies for that purpose. Just a hunch.
Me neither. If you want to learn what a culture has to offer, you don't study it in a "[insert culture here]-studies" program... you immerse yourself in it.
Want to learn about Asian culture? Go to Asia. You will find in doing so that there are many, many Asian cultures, not just one. Want to learn about Western culture? Well, the West is here for you. Go to the local university and sign up.
But stay out of the hyphenated-studies programs... they're crap.
