<p>Hello I got nominated for a scholarship thats full tuition all four years but to only these six colleges. I want to be an English Major, and become an teacher and work in the peace corps eventually. I’m liberal and open minded. Size and location doesnt matter to me as much as the exellence of the English department. These are the six schools, which would be the best to study English? (You can give the top 2 schools if you can’t choose just one)(Admission is not an issue either)</p>

<p>Bucknell University
Lafayette College
Sewanee: The University of the South
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Grinnell College
Pepperdine University</p>

<p>Thank you for your time and thoughts!</p>

<p>Agree with John Adams. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Grinnell is easily the stand-out here.</p>

<p>Sewanee has the best reputation for literature on the list among the liberal arts colleges. Grinnell, however, has the best reputation overall. It’s worth noting that Sewanee has twice as many English majors as Grinnell, which cuts both ways - there’s a lively community of literary scholars, but you may get a little less attention. </p>

<p>Politically, Grinnell is left of center, while Sewanee is moderate or slightly right of center.</p>

<p>yet some people might feel that the inspiration to learn English Literature is best found at this school:</p>

<p>It’s fascinating that there’a a scholarship donor who wants to encourage students to go to Grinnell as well as Pepperdine! Most people might see the two as being at opposite ends of the spectrum.</p>

<p>Bookworm,
My advice is to accept all six as being sufficiently excellent that you should expand your criteria to non-academic factors. There are some pretty great differences in this universe of colleges and the nature of the experience that you’ll get at each. It’s not apples and apples.</p>
