Tuition and Living Expenses

As you probably noticed when applying for your undergraduate degree, not all colleges cost the same. This is also very true for law schools. What school you attend could mean the difference between graduating with $50,000 in loans or graduating with $150,000 in loans.

Though it would probably not be in your best interests to choose law schools simply by cost, it can be a critical factor when narrowing your search or deciding between schools where you have been accepted. Where a school is located and the cost of living in that area can also make a difference in the amount of loans you take out (see Financial Aid for more information).
