What are some good colleges/universities located in the midwest that have a good english program?
Asked by RachelI'm trying to narrow down my college search. I really want to pursue a career in writing. I know that Concordia College in Moorhead has a good program. What about Saint Scholastica in Duluth? Or the U of M? Any others? Your answers are greatly appreciated!

The schools you named are good ones. Be warned though, I have several friends that went to Moorhead and they were bored to death because there's nothing to do out there. The U of M Twin Cities is your best bet of those listed but it's HUGE. An all around good school though. St. Scholastica has little or no reputation, so I'd skip that one. Depending on your grades, Carleton and Macalester are really good schools to graduate from--but they're very competitive. St. Cloud State isn't the worst either, but kind of has a "party school" reputation. If you're willing to leave MN, U of Chicago has a really good program, especially for journalism. U of Iowa also has a great program but once again, it's in the middle of nowhere. My advice is to go wherever makes you happy, not the "best" school. You'll be glad you did the in long run because you'll be much more content and less stressed.
