Your friend is close to correct - almost all selective universities and most selective liberal arts schools have good English departments. If your friend wants to teach college, or work at a major publishing company it can make a difference where you go though, due to some reputation and networking advantages.

UW Madison does have a solid English program. To Carolyn’s list I would add most selective universities and the following liberal arts schools: Vassar, Barnard, Bard, Skidmore, Smith, Davidson, Carleton, Scripps and Pomona.
