I need help deciding...which one of these is best for English?

<p>Which of these schools has the strongest English program, preferably with a creative writing major or minor?</p>

<p>Brandeis University
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC Santa Barbara
UC San Diego
Willamette
University of Vermont</p>

<p>I'm also interested in political science, philosophy, etc.</p>

<p>I would think Brandeis. Private universities are usually best for the poli sci route...</p>

<p>Jacques Derrida DID do a lot of stuff at UCI.</p>

<p>Has he had any kind of lasting effect?</p>
