I’ve taken Fiction Writing Workshop at Swarthmore and loved it. It does vary in structur from year to year, since the prof changes every time, and of course the make-up of the class can be very important to the workshop dynamic.

I’m also biased in that one of my good friends is an engineering major at JHU, Writing Sems minor (declared before they discontinued it)–I’ve workshopped with her before, so I know her work–and she has a strong NEGATIVE opinion of the creative writing program at JHU. She is just one person, of course, and plenty of other people have really liked the program; if you want her contact info for details, PM me.
