Nova Southeastern v. Stetson??? Forum

[Ludo!]

What do you think I should be doing with my time?

You opportunity cost however you want. I just find your opportunity cost comical. I thought you lived in Chi though. Apparently you think there is nothing to do in Chi. Why you would choose to live in a city with nothing to do is beyond me.

Get back on topic. I thought that was the point of this post. Put your personal gripes aside and leave the thread.

I get your point that it would be a better use of my time to go out and do something, but why is it different for a 0l? What are you doing that exempts you from being made fun of for not going out? Are you memorizing E&Es and outlining Getting to Maybe?

I always appreciate how you derail these threads and then bitch at everyone else to get back on topic.

[BearsGrl]

Then don't go to Stetson, bro.

But you told me it was a solid Florida school. What am I missing?

Too many to list.

Please just list a few then. Otherwise I will assume you are admitting defeat in this argument.

Get back on topic.

Get back on topic.

Not a better use of your time, but an actual use of your time. But hey, if you think your life is perfect, then continue.

I will not share my current activities. I am aware of the above items though.

If it weren't the typical posters, then I'd generally agree. But if posters want to imply that there isn't competition wherever one attends school, then I think it's a false/moot talking point.

You keep harping on competition... I think you misunderstand it. There is negligible competition between a stetson grad and a t-14 or even 1st school in the region grad. Saying "competition is competition" is no different than actually believing that "hustle" will get you a good job from a bad school. Granted, responses are becoming somewhat malicious, because your arguments are annoying people. That's just the nature of TLS; we're an easily annoyed crowd. But that doesn't mean that they're wrong in what they're saying. Sure, there's "competition" wherever you attend school. Everyone competes for grades. Your [the general you, not your in particular] grades aren't worth much when no one is hiring grads from the school you attend. I'm trying to stay on my nice side here, but it bugs me when someone's question gets derailed because someone else insists on trying to silence those who disagree with the choice to go to a school with terrible, terrible prospects.

Another note: the "typical posters" become such because they know what they're talking about, generally.

The OP's topic is not about anything being recently discussed. RC fail.

Either you have: 1) Go to Stetson. 2) Don't go to Stetson. 3) Go to Nova. 4) Don't go to NSU. 5) Retake.

So yes, get back on topic.

You have stated people should go to Stetson:

Stetson. I've been to both Nova and Stetson. Stetson has a solid reputation within the state of FL. Choose it over Nova. It won't keep you tied to Tampa.

And also that they shouldn't:

Then don't go to Stetson, bro.

The people want clarification. That's the topic.

Assume that the typical posters above always troll threads that I'm in. That's why there is the constant back and forth. People can disagree with my statement in saying that I believe Stetson is a solid Florida school option. However, it looks like the individual doesn't want to go or at least didn't apply to T-14 schools that are options. The consideration was Stetson and Nova Southeastern. As someone that has physically been in Florida so that I have talked to actual Florida residents and people in the legal industry, they have stated that Stetson is a better option than Nova. Because a school is considered better doesn't mean that everyone should go to that particular school. My main point has been that people with non-FL ties are commenting to a FL specific question.

I appreciate your willingness to be nice. And I understand your statement about the derailing of the thread. That was not my intent. I have asked for responses to get back on topic so hopefully that problem is curbed.

I disagree with your last comment. Posters become typical because they prefer to comment instead of participate in other activities. Both are assumptions. However, I just tend to disagree with your overall point. I know non-TLS people that have gone against the statements that the "typical posters" put forth.

Ok back on topic. You told OP to go to Stetson. Stetson places about 60% of it's graduates in long term legal employment. Explain why OP should go to a school with such shitty employment stats?

Please answer without using the word competition or assumption.

Countering your uninformed advice with actual employment statistics is not trolling. HTH.

1. I'm not trolling you. I'm like 99% sure you are a troll but respond to you anyway just in case gullible OPs listen to your life ruining advice

2. Absolutely nothing about the OP indicated that they just didn't want to go to a better school. OPs numbers are keeping them from going to a better school, which is why they need to retake or not go

3. This is NOT a FL specific question. I've never been to Florida and it doesn't matter at all. I can read employment statistics. OP didn't ask where should I live in Tampa Bay or some shit. They asked which one of these two abysmal TTT shitholes should I go to, and everyone was giving OP the correct advice - retake or don't go - until you came along.

BearsGrl crawl back into your hole, we have paid the troll toll

Because a school is considered better doesn't mean that everyone should go to that particular school. My main point has been that people with non-FL ties are commenting to a FL specific question.

This kind of statement is where a lot of the frustration that regular posters have occurs. Sure, Stetson might be better than Nova. But it's not mean, off-topic, or trolling to tell that person they shouldn't choose either option, and to tell them why. To say that only people who have talked to Florida residents can comment on the available employment statistics is to do the OP a disservice. People who have read these statistics, understand the state of the legal market, and want to give the OP advice have every right and ability to do so. You're free to disagree, but it's unfair (and frankly, asking for this kind of firefight) to act as if people are not allowed to give that advice.

The teacher in me is trying to mediate. Anyway, carry on.

That was not. I didn't claim that person was a troll. I also didn't claim that the stats were wrong or shouldn't be considered.

Understood. And if those types of comments were done with more decorum and well-reasoning, then I would understand. However, every thread is laid out with retake as the first answer. OP has to make the best decision for them. It appears that OP applied to FL specific schools. The OP said that they had applied to Miami but was waitlisted. It is a fair assumption, unless stated in the future, that OP would like to go to a FL school. If that is OP's main objective, then going to Stetson is a viable option. Now, everyone can define "viable" to their own liking, but NALP is only one reason to do so.

I can appreciate your overall decency, even if I still disagree about your statement on posters. Agree to disagree on that is totally ok in this instance.

Nobody said retake and only go to a T14. If OP wants to work in FL then they should retake and at least go to a better FL school. The job prospects from either one of those schools are atrocious and unless OP has a guaranteed job after graduation or has a trust fund to live off of for the rest of their life then job prospects should be the overwhelmingly most important factor to consider.

If you say so.

If you say so.

I know you think proximity of law building to undergrad campus is a great thing to base your decision on but the rest of the world and I are going to stick with employment prospects

[Mal Reynolds]

Bearsgrl, let me ask you a question. Have you noticed how almost every thread you participate in explodes with people who disagree with you? Do you think that's because many of your thoughts aren't all that reasonable or do you have another explanation?

[BearsGrl]

If you say so.

I know you think proximity of law building to undergrad campus is a great thing to base your decision on but the rest of the world and I are going to stick with employment prospects

This point was never stated but ok.
