<p>I used to post on this board a WHOLE LOT when I was applying to Undergrad programs as a terrified senior in high school. Now I'm almost a terrified senior at the University of Chicago ready to begin my search for the best MFA program for me. (And to think I thought I'd never go to grad school... oh, how things change over four years.)</p>
<p>So what are you guys' takes on MFA programs in Creative Writing?</p>
<p>I've seen the "rankings" and they are a good starting place, but now I need to get more personal with people who attend these schools, or anyone who knows a bit about them.</p>
<p>So far, I like:</p>
<p>U of Texas
U of Iowa
U of California-Irvine
U of Florida
Boston U
U of Mass-Amherst</p>
<p>The most important things to me are 1) cost/aid ratio, 2) falculty, 3) climate. (I'm really tired of this frigid Chicago weather.)</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
