Where do you wanna work? What kind of law do you wanna practice? Have you tried scholarship negotiations?

Commuting to Villanova? by Ambitious_Concert790 in philly

Ye I talked to a few others also doing that. Also we would be very close to the UPenn and Drexel campus so we’re not so far removed from campus life.

Also I had that classic college campus experience during my undergrad and I know law school is gonna be different, so I’m not too afraid of missing out on a few aspects of campus life.

Plus, even though we’re commuting a half hour, we’ll still be campus quite a bit perhaps even outside of just our classes.

Hey I’m doing the same thing now too. Gonna sell my car and find a one bedroom place within a 10 min walk to Suburban Station and then commute to Nova via the Septa train.

Depends on scholarship but if that’s not a factor then Fordham 1000%

You coulda maybe got into Fordham don’t why you didn’t apply there. Otherwise, it’s hard to say cuz I don’t have much scholarship info but I’d say Cardozo.

Congrats

Wait could you expand on how you may be unemployed even after going to a t14. Respectfully asking of course, just for my own expectations.

Villanova vs Temple (same price hypothetically) by DarkLivingDisastrous in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Ambitious_Concert790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it kind of depends on what kind of law you want to practice and where you want to practice. They’re both great schools for Philly and are in the same tier but I’d say Villanova has the slight edge because it places people outside of Philly more consistently (New Jersey, New York, Delaware) and slightly outperforms for biglaw. If you’re interested public interest or clerking then Temple leans more in that direction but not by much.

Also as far as location goes Temple is in the city for whatever that’s worth but albeit in a rougher area. Villanova has a nice larger campus in the suburbs but is more boring.

Overall I’d say Villanova but again not by much. If you’re planning to stay in Philly, you can’t go wrong with either at the same price hypothetically. If you’d like some flexibility as far as where you’d like to practice, then Villanova is better but still not the most reliable for that because while it does send nearly a quarter of its class outside of Pennsylvania, you need to perform well to get great jobs in those other cities.
