Mississippi College vs. Loyola New Orleans
Hi Everyone.
I need help deciding between two schools. I currently live in Louisiana and plan to practice law in Louisiana. I was planning on going to Mississippi College in Jackson (which they do offer Civil Law Classes) for the fall because I was waitlisted at LSU and Loyola. I ended up not getting into LSU but I found out two days ago that I was accepted to Loyola. The only problem is that the tuition at Loyola is 10,000.00 more a year than MC and I was planning to live with a family member that is planning to go to Mississippi College and I'm afraid if I change my mind then it will cause hard feelings and they will have to find a one bedroom apartment 3 weeks before orientation starts. Which one is a better school? I know that Loyola is T3 and MC is T4 but does that really make a difference? I have heard nothing but good things about both but I am just having a very hard time making up my mind.
Any insight is appreciated

uh.....No scholarships?

Assuming you have no choice, and are sure you want to practice in Louisiana, I guess Loyola.
But dear God...

Re: Mississippi College vs. Loyola New Orleans
The best option is to retake and reapply
If you are not going to do that, then probably go to Mississippi to keep costs down. Between lower tuition and living with family, you'd be saving about $60k of undischargable 8% interest debt. That's a lot of money, especially when your making $10/hour. Also, be prepared to not find work, or if your lucky, only find work in Mississippi.

Re: Mississippi College vs. Loyola New Orleans
Neither school is worth the money and both have very poor employment prospects outside of their immediate regional markets, and for all I know, within them as well, since you'll be competing with Tulane, LSU, and other nearby schools that are much higher-ranked. I suggest Mississippi if you really want to go through with this so that your debt position isn't as bad.

Loyola if New Orleans is where you want to practice. The real answer is retake --> reapply or don't go.

I'd recommend Cooley FL campus or Barry for international law.
