What point are you at in your writing career? Are you looking at doing a novel-length manuscript? Are you looking at their summer workshop or the 30 week program? I've heard generally positive things about the 30 week program, and fairly mixed things about the summer workshop. The 30 week program is definitely more gruelling than most writing classes, and you can probably expect to have your stuff ripped to shreds a few times. It seems like a pretty good hybrid between the immediacy of a workshop and the intensiveness of a university program.
I find that I'm generally annoyed with workshops because their full of people who are more interested in being writers than in actually writing. I've heard this is less of a problem with their 30 week program, but still occurs in their workshops.
