Would it be better to pay sticker price at a top 7ish school Forum

.... or go to a school that's in top 20-30ish range with a full ride scholarship?

I'd like some national mobility with my law degree because I don't want to be limited to practicing around the area where I went to school, but graduating law school with no debt is pretty tempting.

edit: I guess this is addressed in the FAQ thread. Sorry about it.

No trolling here. I was originally gonna ask "at a T14 school" but then decided it'd be better to reformat my question to the top half of the T14... aka the top 7... as I think it'd be an even more difficult decision to choose between top 7 and top 30 vs top 14 and top 30.

NW students aren't stupid enough to think that NU is the same as Columbia and Harvard. Makes it a lot easier.

But, but, our trial ad ranking brah! Jesus christ. NU is a good school, but comes nowhere close to places like Harvard.

The answer is: It depends.

On your job preferences.
On your financial situation.
On your amount of debt aversion.
On your geographic preferences.
