http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42785 en UGA or LSU? - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Sun, 16 Mar 2008 04:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42785/last#42785 Hi everybody! I have a problem in choosing law schools. I got offer from Louisiana state and uni of georgia. Which one will help me to get a better job/career in the future? Please help me with your advice. Thanks! PS How do you think how much am I supposed to spend at either of places a month (living costs, etc)?

University of Georgia is definately ranked higher than LSU. Whereas, LSU is unique because they offer both civil and common law courses. But you probably want to base you choice more on the courses offered at each school and your area of interest. As for the cost of living, the websites at both schools probably offer an estimate. Anyway, I also applied to LSU, but I haven't heard back yet. When did you get you application in and when did you hear back? Did they send you a confirmation email? I feel like LSU has been much worse about being in touch with applicants than other schools. Did you find the same thing?

How do you think, where is the better perspective for the future career, LSU or UGA? I am international student, and I want to practice law in usa. And another Q, can I take Bar exam after LSU/UGA? Thanks. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42785/last#42857 UGA is ranked 36 in the country, while LSU is ranked 91. I would definately suggest UGA over LSU if you are looking to practice law anywhere in the US other than Louisiana. In terms of the Bar, there are some places where you can take the exam with an LLM from either UGA or LSU, like New York or DC. You really should read some of the threads on this website about practicing in the states with an LLM though. There's a ton of information you should be considering in making your decision.

Living in GA is not expensive, Athens, GA is a small and very nice student town. I don't know anything about Louisiana, but I live in GA for 4 years and I like Athens. Good Luck!
