Review Title:
FU MFA rocks!
Full Review of the Program:
Here's the deal...Twice a year everyone stays, works, plays, eats, drinks, sleeps on a beautiful island off the coast of Mystic--for 10 amazing days. Then, you go back home & write like a maniac, sending your stuff to a faculty mentor. You also read 10 books per semester & write short craft essays, which sounds laborious & dull but is actually a blast. Then you do it all over again.
Advice to Prospective Students:
Be prepared to write, read, & think. If you're ready for that, come on board!
