Specific Questions About Your Law School...
Q: I am a senior at Smith College who is facing the difficult task of
deciding between law schools. I have several questions about the schools
I am considering which cannot be answered by the glossy catalogues that
were designed to entice me. I know that many of you are fond of giving
advice, and I appreciate your honesty. I am writing to ask that you
answer my questions to the best of your ability without your egos getting
in the way. Please no flames or snide remarks that will do nothing to help
me or others in my situation. I am not looking for the general "Go to the
best school you get into" answer because I know that. I am simply trying
to figure out what the best law school is for *me*.
(Comparisons between law schools of different levels will not be very
useful. I don't need to hear that Yale is better than Brooklyn. But if you
can make a specific comparison between, say, the faculty or libraries at
Georgetown and Cornell, that would be helpful.)
A:BU does have grad dorm housing. Apply early, and I don't reccomend
it. Very close to school though. The University rents out about 900
apartments to grad students; most are decent, they are fairly close to
school, and the prices are OK. Boston rents are high in general. Boston
has all sorts of housing from fairly cheap located in bad areas to very
expensive.
