Hi Kai,
Joanne is right. Visit. Talk. Share. You have a world of programs--even international programs--to choose from. And each option has its own pros and cons.
What I would add is spend some time deciding what you mean by creative writing.
Because the field of creative writing covers a tremendous amount of territory, from creating a piece of art for the sake of art to selling products, from poetry or screenplays to copywriting or SEO website design, ask yourself: What do I want to write and why do I want to write it?
What you will do with this training will tell you what you need to learn. Then you can look for the program that gives you those skills. Winnow down the possibilities to find the best fit for you and your goals.
You're very wise to start unwrapping the answers now. Best wishes for your success!

There are many fine schools out there, Kai- which is good news for you.
You get to pick - location, past students, types of writing, programs on and off campus that engage and enlighten.
VISIT, talk to current program students, and share your thoughts and writing. Research.
Find your fit. Often, where we think we should go is not where WE should be.
Because there are options, explore.
And, don't forget close by, too, as well as scholarship opportunities and fellowships.
What an exciting time for you. Joanne
