...I like the direction that MFA programs are moving towards. What are your thoughts? How much would not having to pay tuition inform your decision to go to grad school?

*it should be noted that my grad alma mater, my beloved University of Florida, has been tuition-free, plus provides a teaching stipend, for MFA actors since before my time when I started in 2002.
