Number of classes
NYU seems to only have 3 graded classes per semester first year, and then ungraded LRW. Harvard, by comparison has 5. A lot of people talk about how the grading system at Harvard makes it more relaxing than at CCN but wouldn't taking 3 graded courses be something to consider? I haven't heard much about this, so i'm wondering if any one has some insight.

5 classes first semester sucks. As does graded LRW.to116 wrote:NYU seems to only have 3 graded classes per semester first year, and then ungraded LRW. Harvard, by comparison has 5.

Re: Number of classes
If you are stressed about law school grades, you're going to be stressed regardless of the number of courses. We only take 12 credits per semester (~3-5 classes/seminars/reading groups/clinics/independent writing) after 1L at HLS and some people are still stressed.to116 wrote:NYU seems to only have 3 graded classes per semester first year, and then ungraded LRW.

Time management at HLS is a big deal -- if you're better at it, then you'll enjoy 1L a lot more.
