Opinions/Personal Experience About Which School is Best?
No strong regional bias, looking for best combination of job prospects and lack of debt. Scholarships listed are per year.
Still waiting to hear back from Arizona and UCLA, WL at Colorado, Washington, Baylor.
Currently Cincinnati, Richmond, and Oregon are the schools I'm considering most seriously, what say you?

You probably need to develop a regional bias & then attend the law school in that geographic area.

Why? as log as you can develop it/like the area that you go to school at? if you can be happy anywhere theoretically, that's what no regional bias meansCanadianWolf wrote:You probably need to develop a regional bias & then attend the law school in that geographic area.

I genuinely do believe I could be happy anywhere, but I have a feeling that the setting of Oregon in the Pacific NW would most appeal to me.Law Sauce wrote:Why? as log as you can develop it/like the area that you go to school at? if you can be happy anywhere theoretically, that's what no regional bias meansCanadianWolf wrote:You probably need to develop a regional bias & then attend the law school in that geographic area.

Re: Opinions/Personal Experience About Which School is Best?
Are those scholarship figures per year or total? Also, it would be more helpful if you listed the total COA next to each school, rather than the scholarship and total tuition. You need to be considering living expenses as well. Plus, if any of us could do basic math, we wouldn't be going to law school.

The scholarship figures are per year. By COA do you mean just tuition minus scholarship or are you also including room, board, travel, etc?Magnolia wrote:Are those scholarship figures per year or total?

COA includes all of your expenses, so COL + tuition - scholarship.rgdavis2 wrote:The scholarship figures are per year.

FWIW, Cincinnati's COA is significantly less ($21k v $35k) if you qualify for the Graduate Metro Rate, which apparently can obtained easily (i.e. get a KY driver's license) and quickly (i.e. before 1L starts) if you move to Northern Kentucky. I think you've got the right idea putting Cincy, Oregon, and Richmond above the others. If you have the time/money, definitely make some visits and figure out where you think you'd be happiest/most productive spending 3+ years.

Re: Opinions/Personal Experience About Which School is Best?
I am from the midwest and currently attend a midwestern university so establishing residency in Kentucky may not work. Are you advocating that I take a year off to establish Kentucky residency or do I just have to move there a few weeks before 1L starts and get a license?WhiteCochran wrote:FWIW, Cincinnati's COA is significantly less ($21k v $35k) if you qualify for the Graduate Metro Rate, which apparently can obtained easily (i.e. get a KY driver's license) and quickly (i.e. before 1L starts) if you move to Northern Kentucky.
