University of Miami vs. FIU (pt)

[lawschoolgiant]

I really want UM because of the prestige, and placement in Miami...

I really want FIU because of the cost and the beautiful facilities, and the fact that I am married and would like to work PT and go to school PT. (not mandatory, but preferable).


Any factors I am leaving out...please vote and explain

[idiothek]

both at sticker?

p.s. a jd from the U might actually land you a job in miami

[lawschoolgiant]

both at sticker. I know FIU grads with jobs, maybe not the top jobs, but they graduated median.

Please some more advice please

why?

go UM. Cost more but better job prospects plus possibility of decent job in the Miami area. Know that you are basically stuck in the area, however, as UM has limited portability.

I LOVE MIAMI! Never want to move from here, so that is not a concern.

If I get a job making 60k from law school, how would I survive my loans would be 60% of salary.
