So, I have a job offer in Madison, paying pretty well...moving to Madison, though, is a big commitment. I've always been planning to go to law school.

Then I looked a UW Madison's in-state tuition..of $16k a year...which is like a third of most schools where I live now (Dallas) and its higher ranked than all of them. Rank 28 law school for $16k a year? My debt would be extremely minimal on graduation. Thinking of it as a "backup plan" if I don't like the job.

Any thoughts on UW Madison?

Have you ever been to Madison? Would you do law school part time?

The company flew me up and put me in a hotel for my interview. I toured the city and I can see myself living there. Small, but not in a bad way. Big enough, I think.

I hear cost of living is really low. Hard to substantiate that.

Is there any specific reason you want to go to law school? It sounds like you could have a pretty good career regardless. And you can always go to LS after a few years of work.

They have a mean offensive line.

You work for Epic don't you?

If you want to practice in Wisconsin, UW Madison law graduates are automatically admitted to the Wisconsin bar. That, plus the low tuition, makes it a pretty sweet deal.

Why do people feel the need to out people on the internet? If this was a serious question you should have sent this person a pm.

I've heard the UW law school also has some nice ties to mid-big Chicago law firms. Consider reading the short article on the school posted by TLS if you haven't already. You can find it here http://www.top-law-schools.com/wisconsi ... chool.html
