I don't want to die of debt.. Advice?

<p>*You can take out 150k in loans to attend NYU Law, then take a BigLaw job in Manhattan thereafter to pay them off, but, for now, make the sensible decision–go to UT Austin. *</p>

<p>Oh good heavens…there’s no guarantee that he’d get a “big law” job anywhere.</p>

<p>And it would cost more than $150k to go to law school.</p>

<p>Well I think that I can work and make about 7-8k per year…
Is 20-30k debt total too much for undergrad if I want to go to law school?
</p>

<p>It’s very hard for a student to earn THAT much to put towards college…and it may end up hurting your Pell Grant eligibility. Students often spend $1-3k just on personal expenses…and more for transportation costs.</p>

<p>I absolutely do not want to live in Alabama,</p>

<p>Have you ever been to Tuscaloosa? It’s certainly NOT a city that one has to “hold their nose” for…at all. T-town is a very nice city…and certainly not anything that anyone is “put out” by living in.</p>

<p>Also, remember that NYU Poly is NOT in Manhattan; it’s in Brooklyn</p>

<p>Oh yeah, like that would be better than T-town :rolleyes:</p>
