<p>I want to be a published author/novelist when I get out of college. Which of these five schools offer stronger programs in English that could help me get to my intended career at a higher success rate? I know that both these schools will provide a great education (and that being an accomplished writer is based on my own skills/talent more than anything), However, where can I get the most mind-stimulating education in my field and think-out-of-the-box kind of advocating faculty in my intended major? Also, which school might provide a better future, in terms of connecting me to publishers or literary agents, and what school would a publisher/literary agent take more seriously? An honest answer is greatly appreciated (esp from an alumni/current student from either school). Please don’t give me a biased answer based on school rivalry or what not. Thanks in advance.</p>
