Which College? - Clark, UNC Chapel Hill, Brandeis, Bentley...

@Kate0615

To help you question the “worth it” questions you might want to view the law school placement history at Brandeis. The following information was collected off their website @ https://blogs.brandeis.edu/hiattreports/

Hunted around the Bentley website, but could not find a comprehensive listing of law school placements. See https://www.bentley.edu/search/site/law%20schools. Because of the nature of accounting I would assume it would be good preparation for tax law studies, but you should ask specifically about placement…

On the College of the Holy Cross site there is some useful discussion on law school rankings @ https://www.holycross.edu/academics/programs/prelaw-program/choosing-law-school/law-school-rankings.
This HC site list some law schools where graduates were admitted: https://www.holycross.edu/academics/programs/prelaw-program/faqs . Holy Cross does meet the demonstrated financial needs of Freshmen, I do not know how they handle transfers.

For Clark, poke around “first destination outcomes” at his website: http://www.clarku.edu/search-clark-university?as_q=Law%20school%20placement. In the last two classes I found St John’s, Notre Dame, UC Santa Barbara, and University of NC.

Worcester is the second largest city in New England (just ahead of Providence RI) and it is an early industrial center. Boston was always more of a business and financial center. Holy Cross is very secluded up on its own hill. Clark has a nice campus more in the city. WPI (the largest University) has its hill on the other side of town. Worcester State University is the second largest university and Quinsigamond CC is the third largest. The cost of living is markedly lower in Worcester than Boston and its surrounding suburbs. The good news is a five year trend in the decline of crime in Worcester as reported by the Worcester Telegram. See http://www.telegram.com/news/20170322/worcester-crime-rate-on-downward-trend.

Brandeis and Bentley are in a more suburban settings. Clark and Brandeis are more liberal, but not radically so. You are in Massachusetts. We did start that revolution some time ago. Probably a good environment to study law. “Clarkies” were always “laid back” when I was a student, years ago, at WPI. From what I have heard, their reputation has not changed.
