<p>So, I visited Hopkins a few weeks ago, and I still can't decide whether or not I liked it. I want to major in Creative Writing/Psychology in college (possibly with a theatre minor), so information about this supposedly awesome program would really help me out.</p>
<p>Also: is a humanities leaning at all beneficial in Hopkins' admissions process? I ask only because of the school's great reputation for the sciences.</p>
<p>Writing Sems is a very sought after major at Hopkins. The faculty are outstanding, the classes are small, and the course offerings are considered among the best in the country. There can be a strong international feel to the program meaning that there are course offerings which allow in-depth analysis in to disciplines such as 'Russian Short Stories', 'Describing in Fiction: Colette, Kawabata, Woolf, and Nabokov', 'The Autobiography', '14th-Century Alliterative Poetry' among others. </p>
<p>Son is a writing sems major doing a lot of theatre. Discussed here:<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=273875%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=273875</a>
