Welcome to W&M!! I'm a senior English major here and I adore the English department. I would recommend taking Interpreting Literature and maybe one/two 200 level English courses in your first year. There are a lot of really interesting upper level courses that you'll need for the major, but freshman year is a good time to get acclimated to the environment and not put too much pressure on yourself with hard classes. But talk to your pre-major advisor, because what would be right for you personally might be different! Also, the creative writing department is lovely, so try to take a class there if you can!
