Hudson University is a fictional university in New York City from the television series Law & Order and its spinoffs.
Over the years, Hudson University has seen several detectives visit its campus in search of suspects and witnesses, especially in cases that involve college students and professors. By using a fictional school rather than a real college, the writers of Law & Order are able to weave the university into several narratives without the fear of misrepresenting the rate of crime at one of New York's actual institutions of higher learning.
Hudson University is a composite of several colleges and universities located in New York City including Columbia University, Barnard College, Brooklyn College, Hunter College, Lehman College, New York University, City College of New York, Queens College and Fordham University, all of which have been used as filming locations. For filming purposes, NYU is one of the least used locations in the series due to the high cost of filming in the university's buildings and surrounding area (one of Lennie Briscoe's daughters, Julia, was once said to be a film student at NYU, but the show never filmed there).
