<p>I want to major in English and I'm trying to choose between Northeastern University and GW, but I want to know which college is better for my major. Can someone tell me what they know about the English dept. at GW? Or even the general humanities?</p>
<p>My daughter is going to GW next year and is NOT interested in the English dept. But I am, so I went to the department page and the course listings. If you are interested in creative writing, it looks like a very good department (my field); I was also impressed to see that GW offers advanced Shakespeare courses at the Folger Shakespeare Library. It lists internships there as well. It’s a large department.</p>
<p>NE, of course, is based on co-ops. I’m not sure how that pertains to English majors. Seems more suited to professional interests.</p>
<p>Check out the web sites for both, read about the faculty, and tap into the course descriptions.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>does anyone else have thoughts on this?</p>
