Re: Is there something I'm missing?
This should just be upped to to 250k or at least 200k henceforth. 150k debt at most schools is like at least 1/2 tuition. More than that at lots.Clyde Frog wrote:I wouldn't pay sticker at any law school, period. Your three years will go by a lot easier if you're not worrying about pay back over 150k when you're done.

Just because they charge a lot more these days doesn't make 150k of debt any more comfortable or even reasonable for almost any school.Pneumonia wrote:This should just be upped to to 250k or at least 200k henceforth. 150k debt at most schools is like at least 1/2 tuition.

Re: Is there something I'm missing?
oh yeah I agree, I was just pointing out that the default figure most people use for sticker here is 150k. Frog said don't pay sticker and then that 150k is a lot. I was just trying to suggest that if a numerical values is going to be assigned to "sticker" that it should be a lot closer to 250k than 150k, especially if the goal is to dissuade people from taking those loans.cotiger wrote:Just because they charge a lot more these days doesn't make 150k of debt any more comfortable or even reasonable for almost any school.Pneumonia wrote:This should just be upped to to 250k or at least 200k henceforth. 150k debt at most schools is like at least 1/2 tuition.

Not that we as 0L's won't continue treating it all as monopoly money though.
