UNC-Greensboro will be less expensive in terms of rent, I believe, and their program is just fantastic. I like ODU too, but between the two I'd go with UNCG for the journal, program length, and faculty.

I have a friend who went to Warren Wilson and I live in the Asheville area. He loved it and I'd have applied if it were full-residency. Asheville is an incredible place to live and visit and Warren Wilson's campus is beautiful, relatively rural so it is very quiet and bucolic.

Has anyone heard from Old Dominion? or know anything about the program?

I'm also applying to more than a dozen schools in the hope that I earn at least one acceptance. I'm currently finishing up my MA in English and want the MFA to serve as the capstone of my education. As a non-traditional student, I feel the luxury of having concentrated time to work on my writing will truly help me progress toward publication. The schools I've already applied to include Iowa WW, UVA, USC-Columbia, UNC-Greensboro, Alabama, Mississippi, LSU, UCF-Orlando, UF, and McNeese State as well as a few that I'm fine tuning my applications for. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to apply to NC State and Georgia College & State University. I originally took the GRE back in 2014 and sending official copies to each school is expensive as hell. I was hoping to avoid sending official copies to schools unless I'm accepted, but some schools don't seem to want to forward the applications to the English Departments unless they have them in hand. A few schools don't require the GRE and two say they don't need them until after round one, if at all. Has anyone else run into this and if so, what did you do? One school, I believe, is holding my application until I send the GRE so I'm paying to send them a copy even though I uploaded an unofficial score. Does anyone have any information on either NC State or Georgia College or Milledgeville, GA?
