People that go to Southern law school must have a real want to be a lawyer. I know quite a few people there that will never pass the bar that go there.

I have heard and thought about doing my first year at southern because it's affordable. It'd allow me to see if law school is for me and I can then transfer to LSU.

Sounds like a steal, because they were hovering around 8% as of a year ago.

only go to a law school if you are comfortable spending three years (four if you are doing part time at southern) and a lot of money to get the degree.

You are unlikely to do this. Take the money at LSU. If you do well your first year you will get more money. Treat it like a JOB.

Federal loans for graduate\professional school is 6.8 no matter what and is set to increase, or change, every year based on the economy. Right now it's at 6.8.

Are you from LA? Do you know you want to stay in one particular city in LA after school?
If you're not, you're going to have a hell of a time convincing employers that you aren't going to run home at the first opportunity. I don't know very many people at all in my class that are both employed and going anywhere but back to their hometowns.

Law firms are uniquely paranoid about this.

No need to get angry. I'm applying for dental school loans right now and they aren't giving us the 5.4% option so I guess il have to see if I can squeeze 20k at 5.4% out of them now
Posted on 1/23/14 at 8:00 pm to Dr. Shultz
Consider yourselves lucky to be under 8%

Maybe dental school is different, but you should be able to get the 5.4%

You've gotta be shitting me. I had no idea the rates dropped in July 2013. Took out a $20k grad loan with first disbursement in June 2013. Not even going to bother seeing what the difference over a 10 year repayment will end up being. It would just depress me.
