Colleges and Universities A-Z Reed College

<p>Hey guys. So I was just accepted to Reed, and I would greatly appreciate any information any of you might be able to offer regarding Reed's English and Creative Writing departments. Writing is one of my passions, and it's absolutely something I want to further pursue in college. In terms of a career, I may even want to be a novelist or poet... I totally loved Reed when I visited back in September and I'm currently choosing between Reed and one another school right now, but I realized the other day that I didn't really know very much about their english department. </p>

<p>Any information you guys could give would be wonderful! Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m interested in taking quite a few creative writing classes while at Reed, and I know they all require a writing sample “audition”. From the coursebook descriptions, it seems pretty focused on workshopping.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
