Temple (OOS sticker) v Pitt (OOS 10k/year)

Post by smartin » Fri Apr 16, 2010 3:27 pm

At this point I don't see much difference. I've lived in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and would be happy enough settling either place or elsewhere after graduation. I want to pursue a clerkship or PI/Govt work, no biglaw (space law, maybe, but not really).

I'll most likely be eligible for in-state tuition at both schools for 2L/3L. Which means Pitt would be something like 100K in loans and Temple would be 120K in loans total.

Am I missing any important factors? Anyone wish to convince me one way or the other?

Bump... and apparently my circumstances may allow me to be instate for 1L as well.

Pick where you would rather live - Pittsburgh or Philly. Both are good options in-state for all three years in their respective markets.
