Still, I think 60-65k is very manageable compared to what other people take out. If this is true then Wake is going to cost me about 90k. If that's the case then UIUC is a no-brainer.
Right. At graduation, debt levels would be about $5k less. Also, of course, you would hopefully get some summer earnings to help keep costs a little lower. Still always better to plan for the higher debt load and then be pleasantly surprised, IMO.

Personally, I think UIUC is your best bet, and the cost is manageable.

I originally voted Wake because I thought you wanted to stay in that region. If you prefer Midwest, I definitely want to change my vote to Illinois.

When I go on to above the law Illinois has ten big law firms that employ a lot of graduates. Wake only has 5. That's interesting
