It is generally acceptable to have her come along with you on a visit or ASW.proxy wrote:Just need some opinions. Would it be appropriate for my wife to accompany me on my law school visit? Or should I have her stay in the hotel room.

I find it perfectly acceptable. This is a big decision for you both.proxy wrote:Just need some opinions. Would it be appropriate for my wife to accompany me on my law school visit? Or should I have her stay in the hotel room.
Yes, it is acceptable, although assuming your wife isn't applying to law school in the near future, she might get more out of exploring the city and assessing job / other educational opportunities. ASWs are miserable enough when you're a 0L, I can't imagine how miserable it would be as just an observor.JoeMo wrote:I find it perfectly acceptable.

I agree... a walking tour is one thing. ASW is a completely different thing. And both should explore the city and job prospects to see if that's really where you could see yourself living for 3 years. It also wouldn't hurt to have a rent/home budget and check out neighborhoods that fall in that budget. NY is great but what if you can only afford to live in the Bronx for example?duckmoney wrote:Yes, it is acceptable, although assuming your wife isn't applying to law school in the near future, she might get more out of exploring the city and assessing job / other educational opportunities.

However, I'll +1 the others here that it'd be good for her to spend the time exploring the rest of the world around the law school. Certainly acceptable to bring her, but I think her happiness will be more impacted by surrounding stuff unrelated to whatever ASW will tell you.
