For you, I'd suggest Lewis and Clark. Not only will you have the opportunity to network in Portland for three years, but L&C is the most respected law school in Oregon and offers you the best chance at working in the Portland metro area after graduation. In the end, I think it'll be worth the extra debt. Exception to this is if you're hoping for PI, as Oregon has a better LRAP IIRC.zermatt1 wrote:I'm deciding between Lewis and Clark and University of Oregon. The main issue is cost. I know I want to live in Portland for the rest of my life, so it might be worth it to go to LC. I am not currently an Oregon resident though.
pick up the book by Donald Miller called Blue Like Jazz he describes, anecdotally, his life in the PNW and his interaction with the culture despite having a pretty different point of view than most people at the school he lived near.usuaggie wrote:I'm a little bit worried about the culture still.

I would recommend visiting. I wouldn't worry too much about "fitting in." There are going to be people on all ends of the spectrum and while Eugene is known for its "hippie" culture, Oregon is not much worse than other schools in the PNW with regards to drinking and smoking. I do not know much about USU, but I assume people drink/smoke/party and I also assume you have a social life and fit in with your peers just fine. Could be wrong, but don't let those influence you too much.usuaggie wrote:I'm a little bit worried about the culture still. I don't know how well I'd fit in since I don't drink or smoke the doobie.

oh sorry, didn't catch it either, still a good read IMO. Maybe you should employ my new strategy for sarcasm, any time you are starting a sarcastic statement begin with a ~ and then end with one too like "special" quotation marks~usuaggie wrote:isaiah6v8 wrote:pick up the book by Donald Miller called Blue Like Jazz he describes, anecdotally, his life in the PNW and his interaction with the culture despite having a pretty different point of view than most people at the school he lived near.usuaggie wrote:I'm a little bit worried about the culture still.

You should have some luck at Vegas. I got full tuition and my numbers are only 163/3.5roguey wrote:I'm all over lawschoolnumbers (http://lawschoolnumbers.com/rogueybear). I think the worry comes from applying so late in the cycle. I had to wait for my new LSAT score and for a paycheck that wasn't eaten up by my divorce attorney. Applying to law school is expensive!

Yeah, I was waiting for my LORs to come through, which took forever. :/ Good luck with your many, many applications!roguey wrote:I'm all over lawschoolnumbers (http://lawschoolnumbers.com/rogueybear).

Then again, every time I say that, I find out something about another university that makes me add them to the list. I wish there was a way to tell adcoms that I'm just super excitable and I will be totally thrilled where ever I go.
