UVA$$$ v NYU - California BigLaw

I have ties to southern California, and honestly would be fine with attending either schools.
I currently have $105k at UVA and nothing at all from NYU.
However, I am pretty set on coming back to CA (with an emphasis on biglaw) and would be willing to spend then extra money on NYU if it is worth it.
Thoughts?

Take the $$$ at UVA. Profit.
But don't go to california. That place is a shiTTTThole. The job market is crap, cost of living is too damn high, and even purchasing groceries is TTToooo expensive.

105 (more like 130 with COL) is a shitload of money to leave on the table.

Sorry, one more question:
If I screw up at UVA and don't get the grades to come back, where do most people end up?
NY? Or would I effectively be stuck in the south?

if CA sucks so much, where should he/she end up? Weather and lifestyle are worth the $$$. If he has the money, why not spend it somewhere he'll enjoy.
And including TTTT in every post is TTTT.

Fair enough. I'd rather make less money and chill in the sun.
To each their own, my friend.

CA is where it's at. He'll clearly only move back to CA if he has a job lined (and if he's making $$$ why not spend it). Quality of life? What else do you need? Food, shelter, great weather, and California Gurls. If you need more reason to attend, Katy Perry's "California Gurls" lists a few more.
ANd yes, I'm pretty sure the sun does help with the Vitamin D issue described above

This.
California has good weather, mexican food, and bud. That's all I can come up with. While these shouldn't be taken for granted, nothing changes the fact this state is a POS. Jerry Brown is the icing on the cake.
