Where should I go next fall? / Re: Higher Ranked School vs. Scholarship $$$ - with a twist

Hey,
I'm a 1L at Boston College. I made the choice to come here over Duke because BC gave me 16k a year. It's the best decision I've ever made. I took the extra savings and bought a condo, which has appreciated enough in the first 7 months to cover my undergrad debt.
In all honesty, the best advice is this: Save money IF the school you will be going to is in an area where you want to work. You will most likely end up working where you go to school, unless you go to a school such as Duke that ships their kids off to NYC / Boston / Etc.
Hope that helps.
