Best thing about my major:
I get to explore something I enjoy reading and writing on a deep, creative, theoretical and critical level. The English department as a whole is incredible: There’s a strong, tight-knit support system composed of students, faculty and staff. Our courses are often cross-listed with other departments, and we host neat events like the Literary Desserts Contest and guest speakers. I also like that we are located in East College, my favorite academic building on campus. We even have a department T-shirt!
