<p>I’m in high school right now, but I’m looking for colleges with really good Enlgish programs within the US. I’d prefer a college close to my family (I live in Colorado) but I’m open to suggestions of any kind. Anyone have a good suggestion?</p>

<p>The following information could help others help you narrow down your options:

  • GPA and class rank
  • test scores
  • course rigor
  • intended major or career
  • extracurricular activities, interests and achievements
  • estimated Expected Family Contribution ([FinAid</a> | Calculators | Quick EFC Calculator Results](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid))
  • budget (what your family actually is able and willing to pay)
  • preferences for school size, location, atmosphere, etc.</p>

<p>If you’re interested in an English writing program, Knox College in Illinois has one of the best. Creative Writing is the most popular major there.</p>

<p>Thanks for your suggestion,spdf. Where does Knox stand in its religious beliefs?</p>

<p>In Colorado, I really like Colorado College. It goes on the block plan. Instead of semesters, trimesters, quarters, 4-1-4, etc… Colorado College lets you have only one class at a team and every 3.5 weeks you take a new class. I think it’s a brilliant school. My aunt went there (hint: she makes 600K now) haha but of course that’s not typical. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Glarien, where are you coming from with that question?
Are you seeking (or are you trying to avoid) a particular religious orientation?</p>

<p>If you’re a girl, I’d throw Scripps College out there.</p>
