I remember when it was still a college. In the early 90s, there were only two universities: HKU and CUHK. The other colleges--Polytechnic, City, and Baptist--became universities a couple years later. City reminds me of a newer version of CUHK, where I studied: the Olympic-sized pool, Sir Run Run Shaw Hall, the colorful posters, and active student life.<br /><br />I've heard great things about City's MFA program and am very impressed with its faculty. I definitely think you'd get a ton out of the program. Even if you end up writing fiction, you can't go wrong by starting out with creative non-fiction. Many successful novelists and memoirists received an MFA in poetry, but never really published books of poetry. I think City's MFA program is low residency, so you only meet up with classmates a couple times a year. If I were any closer or didn't have to take care of three kids, I'd apply in a heartbeat!Susan Blumberg-Kasonhttp://www.susanbkason.comnoreply@blogger.com
