I’ve never taken an English class here, and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. Most people who did take the writing requirement didn’t seem to value it all that highly (in fact, my freshman year roommate used to come home and rant about how much of a waste of time it was), though a lot of people did enjoy Intro to Philosophy (which can be taken instead of English 2).
Generally speaking, if you feel that you’re a strong writer, don’t waste your time on it. If you feel like your writing could use help, that your standardized test scores were flukes, then go ahead and take it.
