For your edification and enlightenment: Warren Wilson College, just outside of Asheville, NC, offers a low-residency MFA in writing. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this particular program, but I can say that Warren Wilson is a warm and wonderful place. Their undergraduate programs blend traditional academic study with work projects and community involvement. For more information on the MFA program, go to <http://www.warren-wilson.edu/~mfa/>.
