BU or Villanova

I have finally narrowed my choices down to two schools. I have a full ride at Villanova and 24k at BU (after negotiating). I really think I want to work in Philly, but I absolutely loved BU when I visited and it's higher in the rankings. I am not dead set on biglaw, but I would like to keep it as an option. I am also interested in working in healthcare law, and BU seemed to have a really great program in that. What are your thoughts? Anyone at BU have any advice on BU's portability to other east coast cities?

You should deposit at Villanova tomorrow and forget about BU. BU is too expensive and won't help you get back to Philly. Rankings are mostly useless.

This. Also forgot about biglaw. Unlikely from BU, even more so from Villanova. If you want Philly biglaw, you need to attend a T14.
