Not sure of their student connections, but San Bernardino County Museum have
an impressive history and archaeology collection at their main site and
outlying historic buildings. They are only a 40-minute drive west along the
10 freeway. They are at:

Also off the 10, in the Beaumont / Banning area, only about 15 miles west of
Palm Springs, there is a small museum on the Morongo Indian Reservation
there. A tiny place, but worth seeing as an example of a history museum run
by the people it concerns. It is at:

Hope this helps.

Subject: Museums to visit in NY and CA
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 16:48:27 -0500
Busman's Holiday.
I have a couple of road trips coming up and would like suggestions for
museums to visit that have a connection to a College or University.
Specifically, history/archaeology/anthropology museums that have college
students as their main visitor focus.
Geographically, I'll be in Palm Springs, CA and Albany, NY. I'll have a
car and will travel a couple of hours to visit museums.
You're welcome to contact me directly.
Thanks.
