Just looking for some suggestions I am picking btwn University of San Francisco and University of Denver. I have a 15k non renewable scholarship to USF vs 10k renewable (3.0 req) for DU.
USF: 15K non renewable so 46K debt/yr ranked 100
DU: 10K renewable so 45K debt/yr ranked 77

Unless things get better, you have about a 50/50 shot at full time legal employment from DU. Chances out of SFU are significantly worse than that. Surely there is at least some self selection going on... maybe you have a sixty percent shot at becoming a full time attorney out of DU and a thirty percent chance out of SFU? Speculating here, obviously, but look at the numbers before you make a decision. California legal market is horrid, and CO is overcrowded but not as bad as Cali.
What are your priorities? I'm going on and on about employment here...
If I was you, I would take DU if I could stomach the cost.
