UChicago v Columbia Law School
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 3:39 pm
Financial considerations aside, which law school is better? I am interested in working for a corporate firm after graduating. I do not mind working in any large city be it Chicago, New York, DC etc. I have visited both law schools and was blown away by the facilities at UChicago. It also seems to be consistently rising in the rankings now ranked #4 above Columbia's #5. And is just overall gain momentum as a leading institution.
On the other hand, Columbia is an Ivy league located in NYC. I am also concerned by the many comments labelling UChicago as one of the most academically rigorous universities, with anti-social students. Whilst I am in no way afraid of hard work, I also want to be surrounded by students that enjoy some sort of life balance.
Any comments to guide in this decision would be most appreciated.
