Piece of advice? If you can afford another program, do it. I would do the Exeter program again, but only because without that stipend I would get to whatever university I'm going to and just sit there all year for lack of money with which to travel. I never dreamed the academic frustration would get so bad. I've never come so close to actual, real depression as I have this year, and it's all because of classes and inadequate library resources. Going on the class trips has been awesome, but really? I can organize my own trips.
If you do come to Exeter, take a class from Karen Hicks. Apparently she taught at Kenyon for some number of years, and her classes are awesome. (She teaches things like Milton.)
Er, yes. Now that I've scared you away completely... ;)
