I want to know if a full ride covers dorm expenses.

If not, then I have no chance of going out of city, for I do not want debt (of course).

Thanks.

Very few law schools have dorms, since they are grad schools.

However, most awarded full rides DO NOT include housing. However, some do include a large living stipend that cover rent. It's safe to assume that if you see "Full Ride" it only means tuition and (maybe) fees, and you are on your own for books, food, and rent.

Adults shouldn't live in dorms or with parents.

Taking out loans for COL is very reasonable when school is free.

I'm not aware of any schools that give free dorms as a form of scholarship. Most schools award "stipends" to tip top candidates but as far as I'm aware it's usually for only 7,500, so not enough to save you from needing COL loans.

Living for free with parents is probably a good idea idea.

Ugh. Couldn't imagine sharing a residential space with my family for more than a week. That's about how long our vacations can last, and I aim to never visit home for longer with all of them present. Living with your parents full time? Jesus christ, I know it's an affliction for up to 1/3 of college grads by necessity, but by choice.. can't imagine.

Moreover: doesn't the Rubenstein afford a living stipend to cover an apartment?

Yes 15k/yr

Yes. All full scholarships include dorm housing, miniature soap bars, and coupons to the local Golden Buffet.

Uh, forcing? It costs money to live in an apartment like an adult. If it's imperative to have 0 debt, ok.

Also, dude. Enough with the "one". This ain't hypothetical. I think you mean you.

What is the Rubenstein?

One might characterize it as the full-tuition + $15k/year scholarship at the U of Chicago. One would be very happy to receive it, should one be lucky enough to have received the LSAT score and obtained the undergrad GPA necessary for one to be considered for such award.

It's probably the single best law school admissions outcome there is, other than a massive aid grant at Yale.

I kind of wish I had went to LS right out of UG simply because its so hard to justify living with parents in my higher 20s. Back then it would have been much more acceptable.

Hopefully, there is a similar (scholarship + stipend) deal in other schools as well. I'll have to so some research.

Here is a pretty comprehensive list for the T14s: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 5&t=144338

Most require having a combined LSAT/GPA above the 75 percentile. They are meant to lure you away from HYS, and the RUBY is unique in that it offers a 15k a year stipdent. Most stop at full tuition (160-180K)

There's also the Townes-Rice at UT.

this only adds 5k a year though, hardly enough to cover COL in Austin

Houston? While IDK for sure, it is doubtful. They boast their low tuition to try to get you to attend.
