Until a few years ago, Oberon-2 was the programming language of choice in the first year of CS at my university (except for a small course on C++). They use Python and more C++ now.

Modula-2 and Oberon-2 as first procedural and first OO language in my university as well (in Soviet Russia, no less :) )

I learned Modula-2 in my university (UMA, Spain) around 2000. they changed to C++ a year later. Even now days all the pseudocode used by many courses is strong inspired in Modula-2.

My Intro to Operating Systems class was in Modula-2 circa 1988. I really liked it. I was lucky enough to subsequently spend quality time with Modula-2 on the 8051 and Modula-3 on Ultrix (which was a really nice evolution of the language). Shame that line of innovation has withered.

We also programmed in Oberon at varsity. I think oberon with scheme and c would be a great set of 3 languages to teach from school level through till end of undergrad at varsity.
