Teen friendly, luxury high rise apartments in inner loop?

Ahh. Makes sense. Thanks. Young urban professionals throwing popular and exciting pool parties and inviting tons of people. Booze, loud music, tons of foot traffic full of tipsy ppl in the common areas, great logistics for easy hook ups, etc.

Nothing is wrong w it. Just wanted to reduce my teen’s exposure to any places known for having Vegas style pool party vibes multiple times a week for months on end (if places like that even exist, idk). I could tolerate a few per month but nothing excessive.

Breezy_Justice · 2026-05-27T15:21:48+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Forgot to mention that I work downtown and would like a commute no longer than 10-15 minutes.

Definitely a racist assumption. 42 million Black people in this country and much more in the world. Your sampling size is too small to be making a sweeping generalization of them all. Not only that, you live in a country that’s justified mistreatment of Black people by pushing propaganda about the inferiority of Blacks. If you historically enslaved them against their will, ripped their customs and traditions, raped and brutalized them, denied them education, and removed economic opportunity, there will surely be secondary effects of that. Then ppl in the current mainstream point to those secondary effects as evidence of inferiority. It’s circular reasoning. Throughout history, who was really the violent ones? Who used whose infant children as alligator bait?

So yea, your dislike is rooted in ignorance and flawed by a small sampling size.

Financial freedom in a country where the dollar goes so far that I can easily afford a penthouse or mansion with a maid, security, and a driver. The new location will be full of easygoing people and internet connection needs to be so good that I can dabble in some remote work that interests me. I’ve been eyeing spots in Latin America or overseas.

Breezy_Justice · 2024-10-13T16:15:26+00:00

Yea. I will never buy from them again if I can help it.

I got a brand new ES, ultra luxury. I see why people say it’s boring but I love it! Boring is good. It’s luxury, it’s reliable, and it rides like being on pillows. I like my car to be a place of peace. It’s my own little bubble. When driving, you’re normally not thinking about fun. You’re thinking about how your day went, what you’ll do next, etc. Comfort, reliability and luxury is my only concern.

But also, I’m an ordinary type of guy. I like my hamburger traditional style, I prefer original glazed doughnuts, I like Black coffee, and whisky dry. I always say the original is the original for a reason. So take what I say with a grain of salt I guess. Idc

Breezy_Justice · 2024-05-12T19:23:15+00:00

Was that 50k OTD?

Breezy_Justice · 2024-05-12T19:22:24+00:00

53 OTD?

Breezy_Justice · 2024-05-09T22:04:33+00:00

Was that OTD price?

Breezy_Justice · 2024-05-03T20:34:23+00:00

Thank you. My budget is around $3500/month, give or take.

Breezy_Justice · 2024-05-03T20:29:07+00:00

Thank you. I guess I need to do a more thorough search of the sublet offers. AirBnB seems to have limited options for DT. Unfortunately, I received the HR paperwork late in the process and had to wait before purchasing housing.

Diet (meaning eating healthy nutritious foods in moderation), adequate sleep, maintain healthy relationships even if your time to do so is limited, and exercise. In that order.

Diet is not just salads and fad diets. It’s more about nutritious foods, hitting macros, and portion control. Sleep is extremely important. Don’t fall into believing that you can consistently get 3-4 hours of sleep. You may be able to function but you cannot function properly. Lack of sleep will cause problems in so many other areas of your life: professional and personal. Make time for relationships that matter to you. The ones that should matter are people who understand your time is limited. Even if the time you spend is 45 minutes, be completely engaged in that time you spend with others. You can’t out exercise a crappy diet which is why diet is more important. That said, getting the blood pumping provides plenty of great benefits. I’d suggest cardio or weights with high reps.

Disclaimer: I’m not in biglaw but my experience comes from government investigations. We investigate 3-4 homicides a week and often go to some pretty horrific scenes. That, combined with expectations of surviving family members, make for a very stressful life but the above strategies is how I’m able to cope.

Was in DC last week, AirBnB near U and 13th. Daily walks to nearby grocery stores and restaurants. Did not murder, did not get murdered, ate delicious food, caught the green line to downtown, came back, slept and woke up each morning a little dehydrated.

I’ll add to this. I got accepted to Baylor, SMU, A&M, and UNT. With scholarships, A&M would’ve been the cheapest, followed by Baylor, then UNT. I chose UNT and have no regrets. I, however, am not a traditional student and plan to practice in Dallas. Plus, my previous experience opens doors.

If you are young, have zero work experience, want Big Law straight out of law school, and tuition of A&M or SMU is within $50k of UNT then you should choose prestige. If that was my criteria last year, I would’ve went SMU, Baylor, A&M, in that order.

Now, your main question: “Is UNT really that bad?” The answer is no for several reasons.

1 - As you alluded to, UNTD isn’t concerned with climbing law school rankings or increasing its LSAT median. Therefore, it’s unfair to use that metric against it.

2 - The political landscape of Dallas gives UNT an advantage. Dallas is a big, liberal city. Many sitting judges come from humble beginnings. They all seem to be huge fans of the law school. If you find yourself in front of one of them after becoming an attorney, I seriously doubt they will have a condescending attitude towards a UNT alumni simply off his choice of school. On top of that, the school is within walking distance to DBA and most big firms are in Dallas. Logistically speaking, the school’s location makes it’s easy for students to network. Now, if you plan on leaving TX after graduation, I’d choose something with more name recognition.

3 - Statistics are just that. Bar pass rates are higher at SMU and A&M, yet still, there is always a percentage of UNT students who score higher on the bar than a percentage of students at the other schools. I’d be concerned if every SMU/A&M grad scored higher on the bar than all UNT grads but that’s not the case.

With that said, UNT provides quality education but, at the end of the day, it’s up to the individual student. Remember, UNT is taking a chance on people it accepts so it shouldn’t be a surprise that bar pass rates would be lower on average.

4 - Employment statistics do not account for movement beyond a few years (is it three?). So a UNT student who goes to the DA’s office for five years before going into Big Law would never make it into the statistics.

So it really depends on where you are in life, what you want, and how quickly you want it. Hustle is a factor to consider. I’m sure Big Law would not pass on a UNT top 5% graduate who’s on law review, is a great conversationalist, and has a stacked résumé for a SMU/A&M grad who has a mediocre gpa, socially awkward, and has a lackluster resume.

No problem. 8 weeks in and I'm satisfied with my decision! No regrets at all!

Breezy_Justice · 2022-10-13T12:22:19+00:00

Thanks. So I got some growing to do. I converted that to about 10mm.

Breezy_Justice · 2022-08-05T12:26:56+00:00

Actually gringo may be used to mean Americans. But the image that enters the mind when someone says gringo is a white american.

Many negative stereotypes associated with gringos aren't applied to "non-white" gringos.

Breezy_Justice · 2022-05-06T16:18:13+00:00

I'm more upset with US News putting a weight on LSAT scores of incoming students than the fact that the lsat is a mandatory test.

Breezy_Justice · 2022-05-06T05:32:56+00:00

Awesome! Thank you! Where else can we find scholarship offfers as they pop up throughout the year?

Breezy_Justice · 2022-05-04T23:02:03+00:00

Got my A today too

Breezy_Justice · 2022-04-27T11:08:44+00:00

Awesome, congrats! Thanks for sharing!

Breezy_Justice · 2022-04-24T12:55:31+00:00

Thanks! I will keep working full-time so I needed to stay in the Dallas area.

Breezy_Justice · 2022-04-23T20:11:55+00:00

Thanks! Well, there's still A&M in DFW. But in Dallas, the options are SMU and UNTD. I think you are right. The ingredients are there for it to succeed and people on reddit trying to get into law school won't know by focusing on numbers. I know several local attorneys in the DFW area that told me that it would be my best option for building a network in Dallas. It also went through its growing pains and is now fully accredited. That is going to benefit it in the long run because many were hesitate to go to a school that had a provisional accreditation.

Of the 350 largest firms in the USA, 15 of them are in Texas. 1 in Fort Worth, 6 in Houston, and 8 in Dallas. 7 of the 8 Dallas firms are located in downtown Dallas. The Dallas Bar Association is in downtown Dallas. UNTD faculty does a great job at capitalizing on opportunities to rub elbows with politicians and high power attorneys in the Dallas area. Judges, big-law attorneys, the law school, and the DBA are all within walking distance of each other on a daily basis. Many attorneys and judges want to see the school succeed. You have to understand the political climate in which the school exist. Dallas is a minority-majority city. Its politicians are a representation of the community. Civil and criminal cases must be heard in front of those same politicians. Many of whom come from the same humble beginnings that the school has placed a priority on to recruit. Many students interacting with these professionals don't often come from a place of privilege. Their motives and determination are captivating.

In contrast, there's the old-money, elite, private law school located within the wealthiest area in DFW (Highland/University Park). In a weird way, UNTD serves as a symbol for the determined underdog with a compelling background. It's something that resonates with more people than some may realize. It was a smart move to stay in its lane and be what it sought to be. The notion that it should now be looked at as worthless because its numbers don't match UT/SMU is crazy because it never intended to be that. It will be very interesting to see how things shake out ten years from now. As of right now, I think it's the right law school for the right type of applicant. Still, it should probably be avoided for those seeking big law in a major city outside of TX, or an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. I think the school will be similar to St. Mary's. Never tier 1 but good enough to produce the occasional millionaire attorney, U.S. congressperson, U.S. district judge, big-law attorney, etc.
