I am just finishing the food writing class with Malena Watrous. It has been a wonderful experience! Great class, great instructor, great students. I'm already sad that class is ending *sniff* ... Particularly for those of us in the boonies with limited opportunities for continuing ed in writing, the Stanford series is wonderful.

Does anyone have any insight into how the Stanford online program compares to the one at UCLA? I have heard only good things about UCLA'S courses, but less about Stanford. It certainly looks appealing, but I am wondering why it costs over 200 dollars more than UCLA.

Any idea as to why it is so expensive? Is it worth the extra money?

Hi Annie, I was wondering the same thing. I am currently taking my third course with UCLA (online creative writing program) and have nothing but praise. However, I also would like to know what the advantage/benefit is to Stanford especially considering the cost difference. Can anyone help? Thanks, Sada
