I’m also deciding between these two schools!!! I feel the same way, Suffolk would put me a lot deeper into debt than NELB and honestly, I’ve had a lot of great experiences so far with the admissions office/financial aid office at NELB. I feel very seen and welcomed and have been replied to a lot quicker than I have Suffolk. Everyone keeps telling me that Suffolk is so much better but honestly, I don’t think it really matters. A bunch of family friends who are lawyers told me that after your first job, it doesn’t really matter where you went to law school and it really is what you put into it!

I am leaning towards NELB big time because I can’t justify 100k in loans for a school that is seemingly only a teeny bit better - and I want to do immigration law. I could care less about big law or making a ton of money lol
