<p>I was talking to a very English kind of person today who told me Iowa and Kenyon (along with most the others on here) are some of the best writing programs you could ever attend as a high schooler. What differs these from the rich white subburban kid programs, is that writing isn’t as forced as much as the math and sciences are, so these programs can’t get as good of funding. With 30% acceptance rates, they have to be some what good at least.</p>
