I went to visit Oregon and loved the campus/ area/ everything and was not impressed by Syracuse (especially because they do not offer a bigger scholarship). Currently, I have a deposit down at both schools as I was hoping to get more money from either school (fingers still crossed), and I received the full ride offer from UNH after the original deadline, luckily all I have to do is accept the offer by June 1st as well so there is time/ the same deadline. I am visiting UNH this Friday.
Everything I read says location is everything, but what if I have no plans of practicing law? I am hoping to become a sports agent, plan is NFL, so I am looking at sports law programs. UNH is starting a new sports and entertainment law program and the head professor is very excited to meet me. Oregon is on the path to adding a specific sports law program but who knows. Syracuse offers a masters degree I could complete at the same time as my Law degree, but I feel if I am going to spend that much money I would rather go to Oregon. I would be financing entirely with student loans, - any money I could make during the summer. So, the main question is, is it insane to even consider turning down the full ride offer? Always wanted to go west and a big plus would be that Oregon's Law school is on their main campus, UNH is not. Thanks for any input.
