Where is a great place I can go to study abroad if I want to study to become an author?

Question

I live in the US, but I want to study abroad. Are there any good places that you know of where I can study to become an author? What makes that place good?

Answer 1

Come to Japan.

Japanese literature department is highly good quality.

Answer 2

I highly suggest somewhere where you think you could find inspiration.  For me, that means a lot of culture.  Florence, Paris, etc... I am an aspiring travel writer and you can find inspiration in the most random places. Are you looking for a place where you want to party and experince night life? Or do you want a relaxed beach type setting?  Maybe a little town in the country?

I will be studying abroad next Spring and am leaning toward Italy.  Plus, being there, I am within hours of many major European cities by train!

Good luck and I wish you the best!

Answer 3

Make sure it is not anywhere in the middle east where they ban alcohol. how could you possibly become a good writer without being a completely sloshed alcoholic? happy bourbon!
