Size isn't everything.
As shown by the fact that New York City, and NYU Law are both inferior in this discussion. NYU is just inarguably the 3rd best school in CCN (only because no other schools are included), and NYC is the most overrated city in the world. In both cases, the inhabitants refuse to accept all of the objective flaws of their school and city.
Pretty sure this thread nullifies the bold text above.

But... but... New Zealand is home to the largest flightless parrot (kakapo), oldest reptile (tuatara), biggest earthworms, smallest bats, heaviest insect (a Weta), some of the oldest trees and many rarest species birds, insects, and plants, in the world.

How about it if we all jointly bash CLS? Unity through common enemies FTW.

I'm in. Their 50,000 Cravath associates and one Ginsburg clerk per year are no match for our combined ownership of Richard Epstein.

Ha, whatever helps you all sleep at night.

BTW, Epstein went to Columbia for undergrad, so we'll see how long NYU can hold on to him once he is in the city. ha

CLS kid speaking, I am sure. :evil:

And we here in HP sleep quite well, knowing that it's us that bring in new angles/ways of looking at things, rather than anyone else. Hth.

Not really, just trying to get in on the friendly trash talk. Am originally from Texas and just finished undergrad in NYC. I chose UChi over Columbia and NYU because big class sizes terrify me.

I lived in New York for 4 years and COL is retarded high.

I reasoned that ITE small class sizes would give me a better chance at those few rare jobs. I never consulted with anyone about this mind you, its just my personal thought.

We can really get into the merits of all three CCN schools but I don't think this thread was meant for that. If you are asking for my serious opinion I would be glad to describe my thought process. (0L disclaimer)

To be honest, they're good for different things.

If you want to clerk or work biglaw anywhere but NYC go to chicago.

If you want to live and work biglaw in NYC or do public interest stuff go to NYU.

The differences in USNEWS rankings and all the other bullshit that trolls will bring up one way or another doesn't mean much when you're within the CCN tier.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

I can live with this a lot better than most of the stuff NYU people try to say. At least in your setup we get the entire United States.

And yes, I hate Columbia. I think NYC is probably the source of my disdain for both. That place is just a soul sucking force.

Sorry the souls tend to come here. Must be the money. Or prestige. Or power. Or weather.
