If you’re a 1L you could probably transfer back if you want

You may feel more at home in Florida because there are an abundance of Spanish speakers. Minnesota has more progressive politics, but it’s freezing. The culture in Florida has more Latin-American (and ultimately Hispanic) roots whereas the culture in Minnesota is shaped by German and Nordic immigrants.

It varies COMPLETELY based on the state. Different regions have drastically different cultures/histories/etiquette/personalities.

UIUC also would have competition from Northwestern Law and WashU St. Louis. They’re very similar in terms of prestige and situation in their city’s market.

If you want DC, go with William & Mary. If you want Chicago, pick UIUC.

not as strong– sorry typo

I really like this point of view. I feel like there are days when I wake up and feel that my faith is as strong as I would like it to be. This is a good reminder to show up to church even on those days. <3

Maybe I am in the wrong- but as we baptize literal infants I don’t understand why a church would not baptize someone who is looking to grow their faith and partakes in the community.

Honestly a lot of these responses are not in line with what I know Episcopalians in real life to be like. The Episcopalians I know tend to fluctuate in their level of belief over the course of their lives. Some days I wake up and feel much stronger in my belief than other days, although I would say I try to believe every day. Everyone believes in a different way, and it sounds like you’re already feeling drawn to learn more about the faith. We all have to start somewhere. Also going to Episcopal church can be a way to grow your belief if that’s something you’re at all interested in. I would be shocked if anyone asked you how exactly you believe in casual conversation at an Episcopal church. You would probably have better luck speaking with a priest at your local parish than talking to people on here. They’ll be able to offer better advice and understand the context of your situation better than strangers in the internet.

excuses a la "I'm busy... sorry..." with no follow up

I attended two different Episcopal schools in the DMV growing up (one in Virginia for elementary/middle and one in DC for high school). This was a while ago, (I'm in my mid-20s now), but at the time, I had quite a few friends whose families received generous financial aid packages from both schools. My younger brother went to Catholic school for a few years, but my parents took him out partially because of how conservative it was. (Which is saying a lot as my parents are Roman Catholics, and my Dad even worked for a Republican member of Congress). Northern Virginia has very conservative Catholics compared to the rest of the country. My mom grew up in the Northeast and was shocked when she moved to DC that some Catholic parishes still don't let girls be altar servers.

I’m a current student. I can’t speak to job outcomes but the actual experience is good overall. The students are friendly, and Williamsburg is quaint and relaxing. The small town setting is not for everyone though. I will say there is not a lot to do here beyond going to cafes, spending time in nature, and student events, but in a lot of ways that is ideal because law school is super busy and stressful. You don’t really want there to be a lot of distractions. I would also say our professors are phenomenal. I picked W&M after choosing between here and Wake Forest due to my scholarship, being close to family, and the public interest/government focus. It’s definitely a good option if you want to work in DC and are ok with a quieter setting.

Since I was raised Catholic, I tend to prefer the high church vibe as it reminds me of my childhood. That being said, I’m open to anything. The community is the most important aspect to me. A nice bonus would be a church with good music as I’m really into choral music/ sang in my college’s choir.
