Creative Writing and Film at Northwestern

<p>Does anyone know about the quality of the creative writing program at Northwestern? i.e. variety of courses etc.?
Also, if you are not a film major is it very difficult to get into film courses?</p>

<p>We're actually supposed to have a pretty good creative writing program here...I may be wrong, but I believe you have to apply for it after you arrive at school, and you have to choose to pursue either poetry or fiction prose. It acts kind of like a second major. </p>

<p>On the film bit: I'm afraid I can't completely answer your question, but I do know that NU recently implemented a film minor, which might be a good option if you're interested in taking some more advanced film classes without the commitment of a major.</p>
