<p>What kind of writing? Creative non-fiction? Short fiction? Poetry? Essay writing? I'd say look for schools that are strong in the humanities. For a more hands on type of school you might want to look at smaller LACs. I know bennington college in vermont has produced a disproportionate amount of highly talented writers (Jonathan Lethem, Bret Easten Ellis, Donna Tart, etc.) but it has a very, very layed back atmosphere, so you'd have to keep that in mind.</p>
<p>For creative writers looking for an edgier LAC: Kenyon and Hampshire. Dartmouth is good too. But it depends on the type of writing...creative, journalistic, etc.</p>
<p>what about some west coast schools for creative fiction writing :)</p>
