Law School Discussion

I will be starting law school in the spring ( obviously I am not entering a tier 1 school), but I was really excited about it! However, after reading some of these threads it seems that most people have gained negative feelings about law school and the legal field after entering law school. Is it really that bad? Am I naive in my optimism? Are there some who gained more enthusiasm about law during law school? I sure hope so!

I was recently accepted to JMLS in Chicago. I've done some research on apartments close to the campus and I would like some feedback from those of you that are familiar with the area. I am from Florida, so it will be a pretty big change for me! Right now I am most considering the Presidential Towers, any thoughts? Where do most JMLS students reside? (especially those from out of state). Any help is greatly appreciated!
