Just curious about this school and if anyone knows anything about it please post it here. Is it even well-respected in Oregon? What about a top-of-class student with an eye on Portland or Seattle? Thanks.

He thought the stacked all the scholarship students into the same section. If he had known this going in, he would have chosen to pay (in-state) sticker at our local T2. He'll end up paying quite a bit more in the end for much worse job ops.
2 things I'm really considering, actually. I like Salem and Oregon in general and it is really close to my family which is important to me. My other super safety was Idaho. Anyone advocate Idaho over Willamette? Both will cost roughly the same.osubeaverz wrote:One thing that Williamette may have going for it is that it's located in Salem which is Oregon's capitol.

Yeah. I think that it might have the historic kind of feel that UVA grads enjoy in Charlotte.69sofine wrote:Dude, you like Salem?osubeaverz wrote:One thing that Williamette may have going for it is that it's located in Salem which is Oregon's capitol.

Ooh, I'll weigh in a little on this. My friend's dad is a Judge on the Oregon Court of Appeals and he was talking good things about Idaho when I spoke to him last week (His daughter's boyfriend is looking at going there). He said there are plenty of Idaho grads practicing in Oregon/Washington. I think Boise is a MUCH better town than Salem too.A'nold wrote:2 things I'm really considering, actually.

I would totally choose Idaho over Williamette because the school dominates the Idaho job market (although not that big) so you would at least have decent job prospects, and although I don't know if you can gain residency for in-state tuition, I'm sure that Idaho would be reasonably priced.A'nold wrote:2 things I'm really considering, actually.

You can gain in-state residency for 2L year AND they gave me a first year out-of-state scholly to make up for the out-of-state cost.osubeaverz wrote:I would totally choose Idaho over Williamette because the school dominates the Idaho job market (although not that big) so you would at least have decent job prospects, and although I don't know if you can gain residency for in-state tuition, I'm sure that Idaho would be reasonably priced.A'nold wrote:2 things I'm really considering, actually.

You will be competing in a regional market against both UO and Lewis & Clark grads, not to mention other better out of state schools, for the jobs in Oregon, which will be the only ones available to you. If you want to live in Oregon I would suggest one of the other two. Willamette is the oldest school there, and not much more. But I'm sure that you will graduate fairly highly in the class considering a big scholly so I'm sure you'll be able to find A job, just perhaps not the one you want.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
