Full Review of the Program:
My decision to attend Lesley's Low-Res MFA program turned out to be one of my best! I most appreciated the faculty whose concern, guidance, pedagogical excellence and knowledge of its craft challenged me in the best ways possible. Interaction outside of the classroom setting was just as important and impactful as the interactions inside. Because of the dynamics of the program, I learned to create, read, write, and involve myself with the work and pleasure of literature even as the demands of life continued to pile....literature because and in spite of.
I made some great connections at Lesley too. The memories won't disappear anytime soon. A great community of writers!
