Where do you guys do your studying at? city library? do you study at a university library? I want to start studying at a University library, since the city library is full of babies crying or homeless people. However, I am worried about going to the University library since im not a student there. I don't wanna get in any trouble.

people think going to Minnesota,Alabama,LSU,ASU,UCLA,USC,Washington is a meal ticket but other than top 10% of their 200-300 graduating class, the rest will end up same places as grads from Tier 2 and Tier 3.

Dude go to lawschooltransparency.com

Also, keep in mind if you pay back sticker, buy the time you pay back all your loans you will have paid closer to like 500k due to interest. Local school for free or T14 is really the only acceptable choice. Get to studying.

I am far removed (ok not that far) from UG, but still plan on going to the UG library to study, as well as city libraries (multiple branches) and Starbucks/Barnes and Noble/Etc.

Verify that you can park in the uni lots and that you don't need a student ID to enter, and you should be fine. Another idea is to look for other common areas on campus.

Those crying babies could be an asset though- studying with NO distractions is great for earlier testing, but you do need to incorporate them once you are comfortable with the material, to really replicate game day.

hmm will do . Thank you for the solid advice. I start my prep Monday for October ( my last retake and attempt allowed in the 2 year period... i gotta make it count)

I'll be posting my 6 month schedule here soon as well. Just a general overview. I don't wanna bog u guys down in that much detail.

Starbucks going to be okay with people spending at least 4 hours there when only buying coffee or a snack? I don't wanna get in any trouble. I do plan on studying there and then later in my prep perhaps taking a PT there as well since the city libraries don't open till 10 AM ( I want to take the PT at 9 am same time as real LSAT)

Plus it seems like Canadian LS are way more holistic- it seems like LSAT scores are less important, at least looking at their average acceptances.

I think I missing something completely, Can someone help me out here

The paradox is that people aged 35 who have gained one pound per year after 35 tended, on average, to live longer than those who maintained their weight. Yet, other studies say that people who gain weight tend to have more health problems that lower their life expectancy. So how is it that those that gained a pound a year after 35 tended to live longer than those that didn't?

A is irrelevant, we don't know how body weight affects life expectancy
B talks about losing weight whereas the stim is concerned with maintaining weight or increasing weight
C just comes WAY out of left field at first glance. But if you think about it, it's actually relevant since smokers, who are leaner and thus do not add weight as they age, tend to have lower life spans -- for obvious reasons. And nonsmokers, who gain weight, do not have health problems presumably because they don't smoke so the increase in weight does less damage to their health. This is a weird ass answer to be honest.
D this supports the paradox so it's wrong
E also supports the paradox and so is wrong

Are proctors literally creeping over your shoulder? Otherwise, it doesn't seem like something they could really control. I'm not saying I would do it... but using LG to free up 5 or 6 extra minutes on RC would be a godsend.
