[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]UVA has fantastic English and History programs. [/b]VT had Nikki Giovanni as a professor before she passed. University of Iowa has one of the best creative writing programs in the country. I don’t think you can go wrong with any flagship for history or English.[/quote]

DP.  My kid was a PPL (Politics, Philosophy, and Law) major at UVA, but also took history and econ courses.  DC had Ken Elzinga (econ), Dean Groves, Larry Sabato and law faculty who taught undergrad courses, like James Caesar, Paul Mahoney, and Rise Goluboff.  Since I had been a poly-sci/history double major, I read my kid's syllabi.  My kid had a far better education (more in-depth, more demanding) at UVA than I did at my SLAC. These interests led to a UVA semester at oxford.  DC came back excited about returning for grad work, which he did with the help of the UVA faculty who wrote letters of recommendation.  Some of those professorsx recently wrote letters for law school.  Kid got into Harvard Law.  We are very happy with the UVA experience.[/quote]
