BOSTON COLLEGE 2010 - Legal Eaglets!!!

[bamf]

Well there was a BC vs BU thread last week ... it kind of turned into a fight in the middle few pages, but by the end there were several BC kids there sharing their experiences.  One poster who was involved in LSD last year and is a BC 1L now has an SA position at Skadden.  Pretty killer.  Also there is Nukelaw's QandA thread, "BC 1L taking questions."  That also has a bunch of good info.  If I grab the links I will insert them later,  but they are both in the Where Should I Go thread, so just use the search function on the homepage.
Theres also a BC '10 facebook group as well: http://ithaca.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2258129680
I've been friended by several people from it already, and I just joined yesterday.  I'm hoping it will be a good way to meet people and maybe find a roommate.
Are you going to go visit BC?  Boston is a great city ... its an awesome place to be a student, and is a very young city.  But I personally find cities distracting, so I'm really glad BC is just outside the city ... easy to get downtown on the weekends but not tempted to go out every night instead of studying.  And the campus is great.

Thanks so much bamf! I've been catching up on the threads all day, and I've gotta say - barring a waitlist miracle, I think I'm going to be at BC in the fall.

I am hoping to visit, but I'm in the midst of honors thesis hell and there's no way I can get to Boston before deposits are due. My cousin is actually an attorney in Boston, so I'm looking into visiting her sometime in May and getting the dirt on the Boston legal scene.

Now I just need to cross my fingers that there is some $$ left for me! Unfortunately, I don't have any money offers from comparable schools to bargain with. Here's hoping, though!

Any idea the ratio of toilets to urinals in the mens rooms at BC?

[CowboyLawyer]

The US News and World Report gave BC a 2:3 ratio. It is why BU is currently ranked ahead of us.
