Anyone familiar the UCONN MFA program?

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the MFA studio program at UCONN? It seems great, it's free and they give you a teaching assistant job.

I work full time and am already going to be blowing some money on application fees so I really can't take time off during the week to go to these info sessions at grad schools. How are the studios there? Has the program yielded good alumni? How competitive is it to be accepted?

Any information would be appreciated thanks!

I have seen the grad work from UConn several times at the CAA regional MFA shows. It has always been outstanding. If you follow these forums, you can see that I frequently recommend the program. I can't say anything for student life, or the curriculum, but the quality of the current student work is high.

Re: application fees, many schools offer fee waivers to students with limited means. I was successful at getting these in most of the schools where I applied years ago. Worth some research.
