I'm interested in creative writing as well. The way I see it, Bard is a college, you can only go there for undergrad unless you major in one of the few graduate programs they have. NYU, Fordham, [insert university here] enable you to go there after undergrad if you so choose to go to a graduate program.

Not only that, but when I spoke to Leon Botstein, he told me that I wouldn't be able to get the same experience as a creative writing major at a university as I would at a small liberal arts college that focuses on writing (e.g. Bard, Grinnell, Kenyon, etc).

Also, I don't think that the "Reefer Madness" is all THAT bad. There will be kids who don't do it (while probably the minority), and I don't think it's a big deal if you DON'T do it there.
