As an avid writer, I’m currently searching for schools with a vibrant writing community / culture.
It’s always difficult to create a metric for something creative, but I’d like to know about unofficial writing groups, writers’ communities, workshops (even for non-creative writing students), publications, spoken word poetry events, etc at different schools across the US, particularly in the East Coast. If people could describe what the writing scene at their schools (or tentative schools) is like, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!
You should also view a similar thread in this same forum, “Colleges/Universities With Exceptional Writing Programs.” The USA Today article referenced, “The 10 Best American Colleges for Writers,” can get you started with some schools to look into further.
