Old Dominion vs. UNC-Greensboro (Creative Writing)

[SK91]

Is one better than the other? I like Old Dominion's Norfolk campus slightly better, but it's a three-year program. I'm offered the Perry Morgan fellowship at ODU, and tuition waived+stipend at both. Does anyone have any insight into the reputation of each as a grad school?

I don't have much insight on their reputations but I know ODU well (my brother went there) and I applied/visit UNC-Greensboro. If you want my impressions feel free to ask!

I'd love to hear what you think about those schools. I'm mostly concerned about the academic quality, regarding an English MFA, but anything you know about those schools--culture, campus, customs, etc.--would be welcome.

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.
