We're screwed

The best part of Chicago law is that they mix economic analysis with EVERY COURSE. That is where the law and economics field was founded.

Ideology wasn't really much of a deciding factor, to be honest. Chicago reportedly leans right and NYU left, but both schools insisted that they go to what lengths they can to ensure a balanced perspective, and I have no reason not to believe that they're telling the truth.

I did like the fact that Chicago has a smaller class size; 200 students per class, compared to NYU's 450. Mostly, I liked the feel of the school. I walked around the campus of the university and thought to myself, "So THIS is what a real university looks like." Ivy covered walls, vaunted halls and gothic architecture-- it just feels like you're going to a world-class institution. The guys at NYU would point out that NYU is as good as any school out there, and so I might as well go live in New York City. They're probably right. But while NYU is as good as anybody else, Chicago is like nobody else.

Plus, Notre Dame is less than an hour away by train. I've got a buddy who says he'll get me a ticket.
