was thinking about this option recently as well. solely for the benefit of being able to teach at a college level later in my career. can you guys recommend other programs out there that might be worth checking out? i live in sf so cca is always an option. anyone attend? but willing to travel...

My two cents - with 2 young boys, family comes first. Those are important years and if you want to get an MFA I would try to stay close to home. As others have stated, I question the value of an MFA these days.

they're both equally great. it's just a matter of if you want to be on the east or west coast. i'd say east.

Did you also look at the Yale MFA program?
Did you apply already - the application fee is minimal - apply to both, the decision may be made for you.
