Pepperdine vs. Boston College Forum

[californiauser]

I have 90k at Pepperdine with a top 50% stip and would be paying full price at BC.

I'll be taking on no debt as I'm very lucky to have my parents footing the bill.

Interested in Entertainment Law but I'm pretty open as to what area I'd like to practice in, but enjoying the next three years is very important to me. Looking to eventually end up in California.

Any input is most appreciated!! Thanks!

Pepperdine will give you many opportunities in entertainment laws. I know many Pepperdine law people working for hollywood big shots. Many biglaws hire from Pepperdin for their entertainment law practice.

I know someone who won the lottery. Skip law school and play the lottery instead.

Retake and reapply. Boost that LSAT by 5 points and you'll be looking at T14 schools or USC/UCLA.

Waitlisted today at USC so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

If your parents are okay with blowing $250k, BC.

This.

Also OP what happened to just finding a place to party your face off for three years on your parents dime?

That's why I'm thinking Pepperdine might be more up my alley.

I visited Boston a couple weeks ago and wasn't too thrilled by BC or BU. Definitely not the experience I'm looking for, but I can't help but try and be reasonable by looking for the best option.

REALLY hoping to get off one of the 5 waitlists I'm on... keep your fingers crossed for me!

Did u apply Hastings? Hastings looks like a perfect fit for you ? Party in the city and very decent entertainment law pragram

sticker at Hastings makes more sense than sticker at BC in your case, if you want to enjoy the life and work in CA later

BC is the best school in boston other than havard, and i certainly think it will be easier to get a job with a BC degree in MA than pepperdine degree in CA when there r so many more graduating students
