What do people think? Also, BLS offered me 24k per year and Temple offered full tuition. If BLS came through with full tuition what would it be?

I think it really depends where you want to practice. If you want to work in NYC, BLS will give you a better shot. If you want to work elsewhere, go for the money.
Full tuition at BLS is around $38,500.
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about BLS.

argh I just posted but it didn't work...
Anyways I got into both schools and didn't even consider Temple. Simple reason was I want to practise in NY metro area at graduation. Temple is probably slightly more respected nationally (mostly because it is connected to a larger institution and hence has better name recognition) while Brooklyn is way more respected in NY area.
I also think you need to visit. I just went on a three day long trip down the east cost to visit the schools I was seriously considering. Afterwards I was 100% sure I wanted to go to Brooklyn (going into the trip it wasn't #1 on my list). The atmosphere at Brooklyn (granted it was during exams) was chaotic and intense. The school seems to run on a very strong current of nervous energy. For me this is great, I love being in these types of environments and they are the types of environments that I thrive in. Other schools had a more relaxed vibe which admissions officers refer to as a collegial environment. I personally find such environments to be stifling but that is a personal preference. Clearly many people are attracted to the so called collegial environment.
I didn't stop in at Temple so I can't give any advice on its school culture.

That's hilarious, Godspeed. I hate to disappoint you, but I think of BLS as a place with a really collegial, friendly, relaxed vibe. Your impression was undoubtedly colored by the fact that it's the middle of finals.
