I'm trying to narrow down my college search. I really want to pursue a career in writing. I know that Concordia College in Moorhead has a good program. What about Saint Scholastica in Duluth? Or the U of M? Any others? Your answers are greatly appreciated!

The schools you named are good ones. Be warned though, I have several friends that went to Moorhead and they were bored to death because there's nothing to do out there. The U of M Twin Cities is your best bet of those listed but it's HUGE. An all around good school though. St. Scholastica has little or no reputation, so I'd skip that one. Depending on your grades, Carleton and Macalester are really good schools to graduate from--but they're very competitive. St. Cloud State isn't the worst either, but kind of has a "party school" reputation.
If you're willing to leave MN, U of Chicago has a really good program, especially for journalism. U of Iowa also has a great program but once again, it's in the middle of nowhere.
My advice is to go wherever makes you happy, not the "best" school. You'll be glad you did the in long run because you'll be much more content and less stressed.

Of those, the rhetoric program at Minnesota is far superior to any of the other ones.
Concordia and Saint Scholastica do not compare, and the absolute worst place to be is St. Cloud State.

Don't know from any personal experience, but I have read about the creative writing program at the Univ. of Iowa
"The University of Iowa Writers' Workshop was the first creative writing degree program in the United States and the model for contemporary writing programs"
Also, you might want to look into Columbia College in Chicago.

I actual have regarded at particularly some 'information superhighway layout' levels and have got here upon all of them to be lacking in straightforward thought. they seem to lean in direction of technical wizardry, yet faraway from the elementary middle of layout thought. despite application you detect, make specific that it has an impressive regular layout branch and demands particularly some thought and the superb arts.
