Review Title:
Writing Program Left Me Speechless...
Full Review of the Program:
...and the whole experience was indescribable.
Like the protagonist of a Shakespeare play, the program's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness: the limited residency.
But two or three years at a live-in graduate school, when the main purpose of attending an MFA Program is simply to find an audience for your work, seems superfluous, aside from the added cost.
Advice to Prospective Students:
Do what I did. Take three years to complete a two-year program. That's how much I loved it.
