<p>Besides Emerson (I'm concerned that it doesn't have an "English" major, the closest would be Creative Writing), what are the top schools in the Boston area for English? I want to be a writer, but I want the general English degree first.</p>
<p>Harvard
BC</p>
<p>Boston University
Tufts</p>
<p>Sorry - could you please supply a little explanation with suggestions? Thanks a billion.</p>
<p>All of the excellent colleges or universities in the Boston area have excellent English departments. What more information do you want?</p>
<p>At the top, Harvard, Tufts, and Wellesley would have superb English departments. BC would also have a good department as well.</p>
<p>I had never even thought of Tufts, but when I went to the website there was an instant "wow" factor and now I'm really excited to learn more about it. Thanks guys! (and/or girls hehe)</p>
