Suggestions for a close college for a hopeful English Major in SC?

<p>Okay, so the title may have been a trite verbose, but hopefully you all get the gist of my request. Does anyone know a college (or university) with an exceptional english program, but isn't too far away from South Carolina?</p>

<p>The University of the South (Sewanee) in Tennessee is a haven for English and Creative Writing majors.</p>

<p>The University of North Carolina at Asheville (“the other UNC”) is the public liberal arts college of the UNC system. Being an LAC, it has an excellent English program, and it’s not as hard to get into as UNC-Chapel Hill.</p>
