UIUC vs UMN
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 12:32 pm
Offered $60,000 over 3 years at both UIUC and UMN.
I'm honestly not sure which I should choose. I have lived in the southwest region my entire life (need to move on), but I have no idea which area I would prefer to live/practice. Also, I am not sure what type of law either, perhaps constitutional or ip (being a 0L, it is hard to know for sure). The only thing that is a "plus" is that my brother will be in Rochester, MN @ the Mayo Clinic, which is only an hour and a half away from UMN.
I'm thinking of contacting both schools with a negotiating scholarship letter. But for now, since the scholarships are equal, could anyone provide reasons as to why one school would be better over the other?
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, guys.
