What is the best university for creative writing?

Hey I was wondering if anyone could tell me which universities are the best (anywhere) for creative writing? I’m not interested in any universities in ontario because they dont offer the type of courses I want. I was also wondering if maybe there are schools specifically for creative writing? Please help me out, I have to apply in Dec, and I have no idea where I’m going, I just know that I want to write, because writing is my life, and I cant see myself doing anything else. Thanks.

Stirling University, in Scotland, is particularly good for this course.

I know this is not specifically answering your question, but i agree with you about the writing. I love writing, and i know cliched, but it is always what i have wanted to be. When young, i never realised that there were specific courses, nor that a career could be focused around it. My dream career is to be author, or would like to be a TV script-writer, or work in publishing or writing for magazines/newspapers.
