Student Comments About the MFA Program

Here's what students had to say about their experience:

"The instructors were helpful and inspiring. Their enthusiasm, commitment, energy, and openness within the program and their classes is exactly what I hoped for."

"Instructors, classes, and especially classmates all brought a high level of expectation, enthusiasm, and professionalism to the program, which engaged and inspired me. The level of discourse exceeded my expectations…"

"Both instructors were excellent!  Their teaching styles were different, but both were easily understood and were enthusiastic about their craft.  I enjoyed reading and listening to how others have developed their technique."

"The Web site is very useful for keeping students in touch with one another by providing a place for informal communication among the members of the MFA community."

"The program helped bring us together as a community of writers.  In certain situations we were 'forced' to interact; that was ultimately beneficial."

"...the challenge and intensity of mixing with such creative minds was overwhelmingly stimulating."

"...as a group we've already come together quite well..."

"Thank you for allowing me a place to call home, as a writer."

"Thank you for this program!"
