Evergreen
My experiences at Evergreen helped me as a writer by giving me a chance to study, in great depth, some of the most important literary periods and movements in western culture. The scope of my studies and the quality of work I was expected to perform were equal to the work I went on to do in graduate school. In addition to the subjects I studied, (language, literature and creative writing primarily), the seminar approach to learning greatly affected my sense of community, (both artistic and academic). I became a better writer, editor, and friend because of my experiences at Evergreen.
