Visiting Law Schools: NYU and USC

This weekend I'll visit USC, and next weekend I'll be at NYU.

I'm really excited about Greenwich Village. Whenever I visit New York City, I somehow end up in the Village hanging out, eating and lounging around. One of NYU's greatest asset is its happenin' location. I always wonder how students at NYU ever get any work done with so much "distractions." The last time I visited NYU Law, what impressed me above all, however, was the super friendly student body. One student even went out of her way to show me her dorm room, which compared to the apartments near Columbia seemed smaller, but nicer.

Speaking of locations, USC's is less than ideal. For those familiar with the L.A. area, East side ain't all that spiffy. I rarely go out towards that area. USC is near downtown L.A., but L.A.'s downtown, in comparison to the downtowns of other cities, is dead - there is no nightlife what-so-ever. However, most people in L.A. have cars. You can't really get around without a car in L.A. So as a student at USC, you can always drive to Sunset/Hollywood for parties and return to the East side for classes.
