Are you just asking people which of these schools they like better? Or are you asking which one you should go to? If the latter, then answer the questions above.

It was cool. There were panels of professors and former students. There was lots of free food and drink. All the speakers talked about what a great place CLS was.

Here's a few people discussing Chicago, but someone in that thread also offered to give their impression of Columbia if you PMd them.

Good luck with your decision!

This is a fine way to choose a law school. Provide no information in a thread and then PM a bunch of 0Ls who attended ASWs.

OP, do you think drinking budweiser will allow you to have lots of friends and party with pitbull? ASWs are pure advertising and give you no sense about what law school will be like at any of these places.

Just go where you get money. Trust me (someone who graduates from one of the C law schools in a few weeks and paid too much for it despite getting a job at a "prestigious" firm), these places are all the same, and turning down thousands of dollars because someone gave a speech about how unique X Law School's clinical opportunities are is just dumb.

How expensive would each one be?

Usually, the cheapest of these will be the best option. There's some float give or take a few tens of thousands for strong geographic/practice preference but not really
