UF vs ASU
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:49 am
I am stuck between ASU and UF. ASU has given me 50k more money with easy stips which I am trying to get UF to match. I like Florida more but Arizona is closer to home (California)

Neither are a good investment unless you get a full ride + stipend. Retake.w7ldcard wrote:I am stuck between ASU and UF. ASU has given me 50k more money with easy stips which I am trying to get UF to match. I like Florida more but Arizona is closer to home (California)
Lol unless your parents pay for the rest. I'm not retaking and I'm going to one of the two.daryldixon wrote:Neither are a good investment unless you get a full ride + stipend.

Okay then why are you asking? It doesn't really matter that much to you.w7ldcard wrote:Lol unless your parents pay for the rest.

It matters I am justifying my reasoning for not retakingdaryldixon wrote:Okay then why are you asking?

There are actually a pretty decent amount of people from CA at UF but I wouldn't recommend it.BigZuck wrote:Being from CA and going to either doesn't really make any sense. Especially not if your plan is to come back to CA.
Agree with LeBron.ManoftheHour wrote:Where do you want to work?
If Arizona, ASU.
If Florida, UF.
If CA or anywhere else, RETAKE. Deck is heavily stacked against you if you are trying to get back home to work.
No I'm not asking TLS about retaking. I'm trying to choose between the two school specifically between they are two markets a like but I like UF more but ASU gave me more moneyTheSpanishMain wrote:So you're asking TLS in order to justify not retaking, even though TLS says retake? Wtf?
Why are you even considering UF here? Do you have FL ties and want to work there?
You're not going to get TLS to justify either choice. There's not really any justification based on what (little) you have told us. Just do whatever you want.w7ldcard wrote:No I'm not asking TLS about retaking.

Are you a Cocker Spaniel using some kind of experimental bark-to-text program? I honestly can't figure this out.w7ldcard wrote:I'm trying to choose between the two school specifically between they are two markets a like but I like UF more but ASU gave me more moneyTheSpanishMain wrote:So you're asking TLS in order to justify not retaking, even though TLS says retake?

Anyway, don't go to either unless you have a full ride, ties and want to work there. If you insist on going anyway, best of luck.

I just enjoy the fact that you once got on me for being too harsh on W&L, and then they dropped in the USNWR and every other post of yours is some variation of "W&L sux!"raininthedesert wrote: and Washington & Lee.
I'd rather live in Florida, a beautiful state with 5 large cities than a desert with one. Also , UF's employment stats are better so all that resume padding at ASU you claim exists there doesn't seem to be doing much. As for student body attitude, how would you know either way and frankly who gives a shit? Your points are all unsubstantiated nonsense.raininthedesert wrote:Why do you like UF so much? It's in a less-than-desirable geographic location, is at a decided disadvantage in terms of valuable resume-building externships during the academic year, and there is nothing substantively unique that differentiates it from ASU -- other than a student body which is far more uptight (ASU is arguably too lax but there is a happy median which neither school achieves).
ASU at below in-state is the only option you provided that is justifiable -- full-ride not necessary if interested in staying put in Arizona but, if not, the lack of tuition debt would certainly mitigate the significant risk of attempting to relocate to California in a hyper-competitive job market during a continued downturn in legal employment.
Let me guess...you applied to ASU, UF, and Washington & Lee.
I like Gainesville a lot. One of the best college towns I've visited and I've been to quite a few. Of course, it isn't a big city, so if that's your thing you may not be happy there. But it's a really nice area and campus.sublime wrote:raininthedesert wrote:Why do you like UF so much?

Bolded is the nicest thing anybody has ever said about Gainesville.
Don't you live in St Louis? I hardly think you're in any position to talk about shitholes or college towns. It really is a nice town. If it's not for you that's fine, but to call it a shithole is absurd. It is Florida for Christ's sake. Even the bad neighborhoods are relatively nice.sublime wrote:Nucky wrote:I'd rather live in Florida, a beautiful state with 5 large cities than a desert with one.

Give the UF trolling a rest. Also, OP never said he wanted to work in CA to begin with.
EDIT: As mentioned above, OP should simply pick the school in the area he prefers to live and work. You're unlikely to leave the state from either.at your description of Florida. Not that arizona is nice either. Reminds me of http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... da+arizona
And the job statistics between the two are just about a wash, and will probably come down to preferences. A 25% underemployment score is scary and although a small sample size, a whopping 64% of first time FL bar takers from UF passed the last administration.
And Gainesville is a shit hole and is not a nice college town.
