What are good colleges to consider for a English or Creative Writing major?

We Answered:

Mmm. Tons and tons of options. Are you thinking private or public? I highly recommend public, in which case you would get a fine education in English at most any Research 1-sized institute.

Some of the big fat schools for literature and literary theory include the regulars: Yale, Cornell, UC-Berkeley, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UCLA. U of Iowa has the big writers' workshop. You'd be sure to meet some cool authors (or at least get to listen to visiting authors' lectures) as a student there. I have a friend pursuing her M.F.A. at Urbana-Champaign and she seems to be doing well.

I suggest you head for your state's major public university. The big schools are just better all around to write at because of the types of people you'll meet and connections you'll make and inspirations you'll find. And, if you change your mind about the English, you'll still have plenty of other options.
