Ok, so this is the first time I am posted a reply, so hopefully I do it right. I am going to Case, even though I didn't get any money from them, and did at Syracuse. I think the opportunities will be better through Case. I too am a little worried about Cleveland, but I have heard good things. I am coming from Washington state with my family (wife and two small children) and apparently there are a lot of family oriented activities there, and there has also been a lot of revitalization of the city. We will be going there in May to buy a house, probably in Cleveland Heights or Shaker Heights. I am excited. Case was my last choice until I did more research on it, and then got accepted. It sounds like the program is very good, friendly people, and it's also moving up the rankings. Cleveland also has a great legal community if you plan to stick around. While I never planned on living in Cleveland, I could be enticed to stay there if I find an exciting post-graduate opportunity. Of course, I suppose I better see the place first before I say that.
Anyway, at least one Case 1L here.
