I have a friend who participated a few years ago. He's always talking about what a great experience he had.

To my mind Bread Loaf has been unfairly panned. While it does have a reputation as a "party school" - the undergraduate population is constantly baked - the ranking of its graduate program continues to rise. Academic traditionalists are sure to like its fine marble architecture and (frankly) whitebread demographics, while radicals may appreciate the role various other cultures have played in helping it grow. Don't worry about your funding kneads - its upper-crust benefactors have ensured there's plenty of research dough.

This is hilarious! I think there's a real Bread Loaf school though: http://www.middlebury.edu/blse/about/history

It's not really a school, but a rather competitive (creative) writers' conference/retreat. I'm applying this year.

I visited and found it kind of stale. It's a wonder it's still able to fill people's needs. Hopefully it'll move away from the old mold if it wants to stay fresh. All those crusty old professors expect their incoming students to butter them up so heavily. And the weather, omg, you get toasted -- though you'll never run short of sunbeams. On the plus side, they do have rolling admissions, and the French and Italian programs are quite enticing. On the whole, it may pan out for you, but you better not go against the grain. I hope you're able to find a nice little slice of life at Bread Loaf.

You're wrong. It's a school as well. Grants MAs over the course of several summers.
