I live in Austin now and LOVE it. I'm also a baby about cold weather... mainly just driving in the ice. I wouldnt say I LOVE Houston, I could probably get adjusted to it though. I would hate the Houston traffic. I like living somewhere large enough to have things to do, jobs available... but I hate traffic - which obviously could be avoided to some extent depending on where/how close you'd live to a school.
How is Philly
very different from Houston? To me it would seem they are both very large cities... I would assume they would resemble each other?
I'm in at Penn State, waiting on Temple, but semi-positive I will get it. If I decide to move to PA, choosing between Temple and Penn State will be another topic

I really like Penn State but from what I hear Temple is the way to go. I'm planning to make a visit up there for ASD end of March.
In response to kcf, I'd be open to finding a job whereever if I went to Temple or Penn State. I've even looked into the possibility of coming back to Texas after law school, and taking the Texas bar. I realize it would be much harder to find a job, but if I stuck with public interest/government, as I am considering, I already work for the State of Texas and know many people who attended law school out-of-state. Just an idea. Right now I'm at the "I have no clue where I want to live/work for the rest of my life..." Rather stressful
Thank for all replies!
