<p>Hello everyone, I’m a BFA student at ULM in Louisiana in the Printmaking concentration. As of now, I have considered getting my MFA in New Orleans as I really want to spend a few years down in south LA.
I was wondering if in the college community it was “looked down upon” or shown as an “inbreed” thing to do if you went to a college in the same state for your MFA? If so, where would anyone suggest trying to go for an MFA in printmaking?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>I can’t speak for the MFA per se, however, I definitely would not go to the same school that you got a BFA from. The reason is too much inbreeding. Schools have cultures and emphasize different things. Thus, you want to attend a different school. Moreover, for your MFA, I would go to the best school in your major that you can get accepted too.I do believe in spending money on a top notch graduate program.</p>
