i guess this is the correct answerJetstoRJC wrote:Maybe give it more than two minutes....?
That being said, I would think you could find at least a few people at every law school that regret going. However, everybody I have talked to that goes to Michigan loves it.

I am sure there are at least a few people, but good luck getting any of them to admit it on here.doinmybest wrote:I like the responses so far, but let's change the question to, "anybody paying full price at Michigan now regretting it?" This is what I'd like to know.

I would assume anybody below median that paid full/close to full price...but that's not really restricted to Michigan, just replace "median" with corresponding rank necessary to have a shot at recouping on your investment, and you'll find the unhappy people.zanyventer wrote:Please explain.
Uh.... the exact same thing is true for Duke. And Chicago. And Stanford. And probably even Yale.FlightoftheEarls wrote:Classy.Bosque wrote:I am sure there are at least a few people, but good luck getting any of them to admit it on here.doinmybest wrote:I like the responses so far, but let's change the question to, "anybody paying full price at Michigan now regretting it?"

I'm trying to think what would compel me to go into a Duke thread and write something like that. I can't really think of anything.
+1. Good luck finding someone who just bought a $2,000 TV to admit that it is a piece of shit. Now change that to a $120,000 degree.Bosque wrote:Uh.... the exact same thing is true for Duke.

I would put money down that at every single law scool their are at least a handful of students who regret the decision. But the chances of you finding one of them who are willing to admit it (even to themselves), let alone admit it on here where they are going to get blasted by their classmates and 0Ls alike, is very small.
How exactly is any part of what I said trolling?
I'm definitely not anti-Michigan trolling. The reason I asked this is because I am thinking about Michigan but it would most likely be at full-price.FlightoftheEarls wrote:Classy.Bosque wrote:I am sure there are at least a few people, but good luck getting any of them to admit it on here.doinmybest wrote:I like the responses so far, but let's change the question to, "anybody paying full price at Michigan now regretting it?"

Ann Arbor is definitely, definitely not rural.Rock of Love wrote:I talked to a NYU 2L who had transferred there from Michigan, and here were the negatives he mentioned about going there:
-Ann Arbor. Limited cultural opportunities, full of drunk college students, remote location, exclusive LGBT student group. He pointed out that these things could be true about any law school in a rural location, in comparison to the opportunities in a large city.
-Tight knit law school community, which could definitely be a strong positive for a lot of people, but if you like your space and separate life from law school, maybe not so much.
-Weather. Snow in May right before exams.
But he also did say he loved his 1L. These are all things I was told. I don't have an opinion on Michigan since I've never been there. HTH.
Don't worry at all, that's a completely legitimate question. I was only speaking to Bosque's comment, so worry not. I don't have an answer for you since I was very fortunate to receive a little help from the school and I absolutely love it, but I'm sure that there are some students Michigan that aren't particularly happy with their choice. But, as was pointed out, it may be tough to discern whether that's unhappiness with the school itself or with law school in general.doinmybest wrote: I'm definitely not anti-Michigan trolling.

From what you've said with the 2L, NYU and LGBT issues, you probably spoke to the infamous EmmyD from here on TLS. I got the chance to meet him last year at ASW, and though a rather nice individual, he didn't feel Michigan was a particularly great fit for him. He transferred to NYU this year, and from what I've heard from my friends here who still talk to him, he isn't exactly in love with the experience there either.Rock of Love wrote:I talked to a NYU 2L who had transferred there from Michigan, and here were the negatives he mentioned about going there:

It's interesting that I never disputed any of the above in what I wrote, so it leaves me to believe that you've realized how your initial response comes across to others. It's easy to pretend like you're being objective when you come out and write what you did the second time, but why didn't you say that each school would probably have some dissatisfied students in the first place? Instead what you wrote was a sort of back-handed jab at the honesty of the students posting here for their school. It was subtle and sly enough that people may not have caught on to it initially, but you know exactly how what you wrote comes across.Bosque wrote:Uh.... the exact same thing is true for Duke.

omg, shut up already. don't ruin this potentially useful thread with your bitchinessFlightoftheEarls wrote:wahhhh
Please, just stop. You are tilting at windmills. I didn't even care what the name of the law school was when I posted the first time, I was just remarking on the impossibility of finding someone to admit buyers remorse about a law school while they are still enrolled. I have nothing against you or Michigan-I actually like all the Michiganians I have met in real life. So please stop projecting onto me, or whatever it is you are doing.FlightoftheEarls wrote: Stuff
