<p>Hello! I have sort of an open ended question for anyone who might want to talk about majoring in English Lit. I'm looking for a school in the US with an excellent English program, one that encourages discussion, has an actual professor teaching all the classes, and has a wide range of courses. Every school says this is true but it's sometimes hard to tell what you're really going to get from a program from the website, so I figured I'd see if anyone here had any experiences they were willing to share. I'm looking at schools anywhere across the country (my GPA is like a 3.9, SAT 2310 if that helps) and I'm looking for recommendations, warnings, insider stories from any department anywhere, even tips from people who may have found something online I missed. Or info on what it's really like to major in English in general. Hoping to start a big discussion, thank you!</p>
<p>Kenyon College. It’s called a “writer’s college” for a reason. Also Amherst, but it would be a reach school</p>
<p>I’m an English major going into The College of New Jersey, and one of the reasons I chose my school is because there are small class sizes and no TA’s teaching the English classes - it’s all actual professors. You won’t find it on many national rankings (besides “best value” and perhaps “prettiest campuses”), and it is a state school, but it definitely isn’t a flagship and it has a private-school feel to it. Everyone I’ve met is super nice too 
you’ll get in with scholarship with your stats, but out-of-state ones max out at $10,000 per year. They do have a few programs that could get you a full ride. There are higher-ranked, more elite, and better known colleges out there, but if you’re looking for a more personal experience, keep an open mind 
I also second the previous post’s suggestions.</p>
