NU(150K) vs UChi(15k) Forum

[cotiger]

I don't think Tom understood that the 100K was total COA after the full ride that OP already received... That or he's trolling. Either way, ignore his BS.

Lol OP has a full ride. And NU law is worth more then that IMO

Where do you get the $100k figure? I'm in the same boat and, assuming studio apartment in Streeterville 1st year and moving to Lincoln Park/Lakeview afterward, my numbers came out to a liberal $80k including fees/booze/interest/etc. Could bring it down significantly by living la vida pobre.

Not that it makes a ton of difference, but OP got $150k, not a full ride. That's still paying about $25k in tuition+fees, which would account for the cost difference between OP and you (norkanite).

Regardless, totally worth it.

Yup. I used the Georgetown law calculator and it put me at 100k including tuition increases.
Thanks for the responses everyone! I am definitely leaning toward NU and will probably attend unless I absolutely hate it at ASW which I don't see happening.

NU doesn't offer a "full" scholarship in that case. 150k is the best they give out.

Nope. I just got that offer yesterday RD.

That said, if you feel like you're going to rock it at Chicago because it's the perfect fit, whereas you really dislike NW -- that could tip things back towards Chicago (although you've gotta have pretty darn strong feelings to overcome that $175k difference).

I don't think any sort of "feelings" like that justify $175k no matter how strong. You should be able to do your best at either school. When you get down to it studying for and taking 1L exams will be remarkably similar no matter what environment you're in.
