I did not rate things in terms of campus life, because I commute from 45 mins away. I could see myself as an undergrad being underwhelmed by the social scene on campus-but I wish I had not had so much to do at my undergrad institution- I would probably have studied harder. As a graduate student professors have always been more than available for me, very encouraging and inspiring. But then again as a grad student you get the cream of the crop professor-wise. Professors are also more than happy to help you work on things to get into conferences (which I have done multiple time thanks to faculty) and you can get good funding for travel- if you can prove you need it you can get up to $750 for a conference. You are also required to take a lit. theory course- which is soooo helpful and you should take it first, and an "intro to the profession" course that talks about applying to PhD programs, conferences, creative writing journals, teaching jobs etc. Thanks to interlibrary loan and a surprising availablity of library resources- for the price if you live in PA you would be a fool to go elsewhere.
