Oh, well I guess that's good.. personally I'd rather killself but I'm sure it'll be at least 5 years before you seriously regret it." Ouch.Nice is the last thing you should be to someone when they're about to drop 200k on a school with few employment prospects. That's borderline neglect, IMO, like telling your friend who's about to go to Antartica that they know someone who's happy with his decision.i don't know that a random poster on an internet message board is going to convince a stranger not to go to a particular school. not everybody is as impressionable as you, walls if the poster ASKED for advice on where s/he should go, then that's a different story. but to offer or support that opinion when it is unsolicited, immediately after a person posts about being excited for his/her first law school acceptance? poor taste.

Sorry. I was too hasty.I just felt a sense of alarm on hearing that someone was really considering going to Touro - it may be the right decision for some - but the calculus is skewed so that it is not often the right decision.I do hope you remember this advice when you are choosing which law school to go to, however. I don't mean to be condescending (I know it could seem that way), I just really hope you make the right life decision.Best of luck!
