Here’s the MFA advice I give my students, Molly. Go where the money is. Get paid, absolutely do NOT pay for your MFA (there are enough fellowships out there). Choose geography over faculty. Good writers don’t necessarily make good pedagogues and they tend to leave and who know who you’ll be studying with. And your greatest teachers and friends are hard to predict. Living in a good town can make a big difference. That’s my two cents.
