It has a good reputation, especially if you are a devout Catholic.  It's not much of a party school, and the Portuguese-language community in New York is not enormous.  But New York is very expensive.  You might also look into the similar Marquette University, in Milwaukee; similar climate, but much less expensive (in a smaller city, but close to Chicago).

Morristown is a nice place, but I would check with some people who have direct contact or expereince with the University,  I generally like the feel of smaller liberal arts schools myself, and find that some of the best and healthiest student-teacher-school relationships are found there.  Not saying anything bad about big-box schools, it is all about what is best for you. Oh, and please for the sake of your future don't for a second take anything in US News and World Report's "college rankings".  Those rankings are compiled with one thing in mind only, making USN&WR money, not trying to help you find the right place for you.

Rieschels daughter Angela is the best connected best lawyer still practicing in Buffalo.  If you can get dad, Wayne, that much to the better.  Most people hire them so if nothing else, the other side won't get them.  They are honest and good people on top of it.  They have handled my legal stuff for years.  I have lived and worked in that area and part of my job is hearing all the gossip.  I only repeat the kindly stuff and here is an example of a time when it is no chore.  If I can otherwise help contact me at oddmom3@yahoo.com   Laura Bennett

i haven't participated in the gateway program but i am going to begin my undergraduate studies at georgetown's mcdonough school of business this fall and i can tell u that its teaching quality is first-rate and the campus is beautiful. i've heard professors speak and i truly enjoyed their talks. i strongly recommend georgetown for both the gateway program as well as a possible college choice.

I actually considered going to Pitt. I live out of state so it was pricey. I like the school, LOVE the area, there is a lot to do. I still go to Oakland on occasion.

There isn't a bad university in the lot.\n\nWhere do you want to study law?  If in the US, go to a US school.  If in the UK, then study in a UK school.\n\nIf you want to go to a US school you might want to think about location.  Cornel is in the middle of nowhere -- which may or may not appeal to you.  Stanford and Columbia are in locations where a lot of people want to live -- but both laces are expensive.  You might want to add other US schools that are in the top ten (e.g., Duke, Penn, Yale, UC Berkeley).

Buff State is a great college with a super teaching program.  Don't know about CUNY though.  Plus, Buffalo ROCKS!!  GO SABRES!!

It's one of the best universities in the country, and definitely, one of the best Historically Black Colleges and Universities.  I know a number of people who went there for their law degree, and they are very educated, knowledgeable people.\n\nIn the end, great university!

I am currently a Legal Studies Major with a Political Science/Pre-Law Minor attending UCF. Let me assure, for law school preparation, this is the way to go. \n\nThe legal studies program will give you the necessary hands-on experience to succeed in law school. You will know how to brief a case from Day 1, instead of struggling through it with your fellow students. You will know how to do legal research and writing, a major source of failing grades for 1L's. You should take classes in Contracts, Property, and Ethics--all 1L classes. \n\nThe Political Science training will provide you with the theoretical component of your law school preparation. Most of your Constitutional Law and International Law classes will be through the Poli Sci Dept. Also, your classes on the workings of the Courts, Executive and Legislative branches are Poli Sci. A word of advice--DO NOT take Con Law or International Law without having completed Legal Research and Legal Writing FIRST!! Not being able to write a case brief or a legal outline has been the cause of many failing grades. \n\nAnd if you do not mind a brief plug for my school--UCF is currently the 4th ranked legal studies program in the nation and #1 for programs that are not attached to a law school. When law school admissions reps come to UCF, they do not come to do presentations, they come to recruit--and they bring scholarship money with them. Every time I attend a recruiting function, students from our program get singled out for private tours, meetings with key faculty, etc. Other programs exist around the country, and having met with those student (I was on the Trial Team), I believe that I have made an outstanding decision to attend UCF. \n\nGood luck with your future endeavors.

Interlochen is a great school if you can somehow get in...my friend goes there and he loves it.  It would be totally worth your time to take the postgraduate course, but if you didn't want to, you could go to one of the camp programs during the summer.  \n\nA school like that called International Academy in Bloomfield Hills, MI is where I go.  However, the academics are more based on classes like Math and Science instead of the arts.  It's also a public school.  The thing that's interesting about it though is that they accept people from around the world, hence the name "International" Academy.  Since I am American, I had to actually go through a lottery, while International students were automatically accepted.  It's really a great environment, and I encourage you to look into it more.\n\nGood luck, hope this helped.

I went to the New School for Social research for Summer School a long time ago. It was the best experience ever. The people that attend are independent thinkers and the school is extremely competitive. Just taking a couple of classes in Economics made me change my whole major. I liked Eugene Lang better than NYU because the classes are smaller and one gets more attention. (I went to Columbia U). Hope that helps.

Institutional philosophy -- are you in competition with your classmates? Is it a communal atmosphere? \n\nClass size -- how much contact will you have with professors and what quality?\n\nProfessors -- what professors are there with whom you'd like to study?\n\nOpportunities for internships in school -- education is as much about engagement outside the classroom.\n\nFunding -- will they pay for public interest work if you're interested in it?\n\nFlexibility of courses -- when can you choose your own courses?\n\nClerkships -- if you're interested  in measuring prestige some, looking at where the students clerk after graduation is important.\n\nClinical programs -- are there opportunities to practice law during school?\n\nAlumni networks -- are there good alums who can help you out after graduation.\n\nFinally, many law schools train their students to practice law where they are.  Keep location in mind strongly while considering schools.\n\nGood luck!

I graduated from there. It is a BIG school with an amazing selection of excellent degree programs. I suggest you live in the dorms to start off -- you have to find a community there or you'll go a little nuts.
