[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just audit a workshop at a local university. GMU has a program. [/quote] Why is everyone so down on OP doing this, when she has the $ for it and isn't going in with super unrealistic expectations? I would ABSOLUTELY go get my MFA today if I had the cash lying around.[/quote] I have an MFA that I didn’t have to pay for (fully funded) and I advised op upthread not to do it. If you haven’t been in academia for awhile it’s easy to imagine cozy, stimulating discussions and forget what it’s really like: the credentialusm, the egos, the super PC policing of language/tone, the infighting, the pet students, the drinking and sleeping with each other. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy pieces of my experience but I was in my 20s. It’s not the most efficient way for op to get what she wants.[/quote]
