Just curious. Is it from loans, parents, salary from a couple of years, etc?

Planning on all loans unfortunately

Unless some very nice school wants to pay for me to study there!

I think the most common answers are going to be (1) loans, and (2) assuming a new name and moving to a country with weak/no ties to the U.S.

Mainly loans. Some grants (from law school I transferred to). Good portion of 1L tution covered by scholarship. Also using some money I saved during three years of pre-law school work.

Mom and Dad for the most part since my undergrad at staTTTe university was free.

Loans and hopefully some 2L SA salary, unless NU feels like giving me any scholarship money.

A lot of you guys saying that you are relying on loans makes me happy I'm in Canada where law school is SO much cheaper and I can rely on a loan from my parents.

How is law school in Canada compared to law school in the States? Is it worth the lower price? U.S. law schools are so freaking expensive, maybe I should have gone to Canada too.

Well, hopefully salary. I couldn't burden my parents to pay for my law school considering they paid for undergrad (well, living expenses, because school was free), but I assume that if shit goes really bad, they'll help me make loan payments until I can get on my feet.

5/6th loans. 1/6th need-based grant.

If everything goes well IBR + my schools "IBR"-esque program.

I certainly hope not. Gloating that you live in Canada, so you can get cheap law school tuition, is sort of like gloating that you're a double amputee, so you can get these neat hooks where your hands used to be.

How nice for you. Too bad all Canadian law schools are TTTs.

Not sure why though, considering he's still a freshman in college.

scholarship + savings + parents + instate = $0

Loans (and any potential merit-based scholarship) will pay for tuition, books, everything else under the academic umbrella, but family said they'd offset living costs. Good guys, they are.

If all the schools were the same tier, then technically there wouldnt be a tier system?

Parents...

TTT doesn't refer to being in the third tier, it refers to have the qualities of a third tier shithole.

Schools aren't terribly restrictive based on geography. Usually people go where they want to live, but look at the big firms the students will be mostly from that cities school - but also some from across the nation.
