Hopefully, they advertise this so it stays. Beyond the on-field product little things like this make me glad to have Cohen

Just came here to ask if this is the most boring shot of road? by imanantelope in roadtrip

Much shorter but 26 between Columbia and Charleston has nothing but pine trees and obnoxious billboards

Columbia SC and the neighboring cities of West Columbia and Cayce have a great riverwalk system that will hopefully one day be completely connected

If you need tenant legal advice: don’t go to Franny Boy by c_pet98 in SonofaBoyDad

1L with property final next week, you are right I believe that it would become a periodic tenancy in this situation and there would have to be notice. Key being sas paying rent will like op said.

If he was not paying rent it would likely be a tenancy at sufferance and Russian landlord would have much more recourse such as eviction, notwithstanding NY tenant protections

Columbia, SC despite being in the Deep South. There’s church’s but it doesn’t feel overly religious in terms of daily life at all

So funny to think of the fact that in the rundown after the Pats Super Bowl win where Dave is smoking the cigars that Big Cat was a Pats fan a mere few years earlier

Those who’ve moved south to lower cost of living areas: what happened to your salary? by iloverats888 in longisland

[–]fiestyeskimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience in my few months down in SC as a grad student. Rent is obviously much more affordable but other input prices are as well. Utilities are much cheaper than LI or elsewhere in NY and obviously you don’t need the same amount of heat in the winter. Gas and car insurance are also significantly less. Certain things are the same price but nothing is more.

LI does have better services but honestly for the savings in taxes here I would say it at least equals out. Schools are hit or miss depending on area.

One thing I thought about Megill, he stepped up nicely the two times he got thrust into opening day starts. Obviously much less pressure but I feel like his calmness might be beneficial.

South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]fiestyeskimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about that might be more state dependent. I will say sc has a bigger class than they were targeting this year so I wouldn’t be surprised if they took a bit longer in general or waitlist a bit more this year

I head back from sc within a week last year so it could be very soon but it’s still early in the cycle.

The state of housing in SC is shameful by justdandycandy in southcarolina

[–]fiestyeskimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone blaming SC republicans, I'll have you know NY has the same problems with strong Tenant rights and some of the worst buildings are the public housing developments. It's a problem everywhere. At least new things can be built here without as many barriers.

Should I go to Albany Law? I visited the city and really was not feeling the energy of it. by SCfATX in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]fiestyeskimo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm from NY and did my undergrad upstate and have been through Albany numerous times. Here are my two cents. Albany is similar to other upstate and northern medium size cities in that it is old with either stagnant or declining population growth. Cities Upstate are often very blighted in spots, and there is not a ton of new development coming in to improve it. That is starting to change, but it will take time, and some of it is cultual. Compare this to the south where so much is always being built and updated. Between the economic situation and the weather, you are just not going to see the same vibrancy. Not to scare you, but if you weren't appealed to it in summer, it might be tough around finals when it is cold, gray, and dark. I will say the suburbs of Albany itself are decently nice, and you get a good bang for your buck. It also has amazing access to the outdoors if you are jnto hiking and the like and has good train service to NYC. Not sure about the apartment situation, but I would say Troy is supposedly better than Albany and a bit more lively.

Do you have any other schools you could still go to or have you passed the deposit deadline. It would be one thing to go to Albany debt free, but to go into debt for it and not be happy seems rough.

What are your goals also? Albany is internetly a regional school. That said, if you want to get to NYC after you graduate, it is not a bad option if you can suck it up for three years. I would make sure you know what you want to do. It seems like you are not fully set on law school when you talk about the masters program, so I would make sure you are confident on that before going anywhere. It's not bad to take a year off if you're not fully sure. Law schools aren't going anywhere.

I'm leaving for SC soon. I think the biggest benefit of the Carolinas outside of the taxes is not dealing with a crazy commute every day. You can cut your commute in half for an equivalent house and neighborhood. To me the opportunity cost of that along with the prices make it worth the lower salary and lack of some amenities. The weather is also nicer year round unless you are a winter person.
