I think you've sold me on NC State... I'm applying for poetry, so I'd love to hear more about what poetry life is like at NCSU, but I love Meg Day's work. One of my most selfish wants in an MFA program is about location... I'm from NC and I miss the nature there like none other after doing undergrad in the midwest. I'm from a more rural part of the state, but I would love to hear about what life is like in Raleigh for a grad student! If you have anything to say about the poetry or the environment of it all, I'm all ears
