City v. College Town

[Remarq]

Does going to school in a city give you a big advantage over going to school in a college town if the schools are of similar rank?

I would say that the question is a little too broad to generalize on. While I do think that there is something to be said for being closer to clerkships, internships, and bar functions (a la Matthies advice on finding a job), if you can't stand living in the city why torture yourself with one more worry through law school? I think that all other things being similar though (same location, exit stats, scholarship money) being in a city could have a few advantages.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. I'm more than likely going to be at a T2 so I want to make sure I'm giving myself as many opportunities as I can.

Big city is probably always going to be better, but that can vary a lot depending on the schools.
