congrats on your recent acceptance. Denver is my dream school, and I hope they take me of the waitlist for the evening division soon! Good luck with your decision whatever you decide to do!!

thanks for the vote of confidence regarding UO. I really hope they take me off their waitlist. Hopefully Lewis & Clark will come through for you. Istanbul is amazing, and living here is so fun, but it's hard because I don't know where I am going next...everything is so up in the air. Anyway, good luck to you (and your dog)!

Thanks for the encouragement. I think LC weighs lsat scores relatively high. Its too bad people miss out on certain law school opportunities because they answered a couple questions wrong on a standardized test. Oh well, thats how this system works. Congrats on UO! Its a pretty selective school, you should be proud. I don't know much about denver except that I heard the city is supposed to be good for singles. For me, I love the Northwest.. Seattle or santa clara would be perfect.

so, my opinion, for what it's worth... first (and most importantly) eugene is a VERY dog friendly town. my dog (corgi-huskey-shepard) is living there now while i am in ist and loving it. although i have never been to denver or boulder, i have heard similar things about both places, but can't say for myself. i think both schools have good enviro. law programs. the uo campus is really nice, and eugene is surrounded by some really beautiful places for hiking, which i assume is the same with denver/boulder. i don't know, you have quite a tough decision on your hands. as for me, i would take a seat at ud, scu and l&c (which is probably a very close second behind uo) but i just really love eugene and small college towns in general. anyway, good luck!! if you don't mind me asking, how were you notified by L&C?

well, i haven't spent a whole lot of time in eugene myself, i was only there for a week last fall, and for the states it is pretty pro dog. granted, its not like many European cities where you can allow your pooch to run free just about anywhere, but there are several off leash parks and even the trails that are technically on-leash are pretty lenient. Also, there is lots of forested area around and i'm sure t least a portion of it is off leash. as for in-town, while i didn't take my dog anywhere i the town itself, i saw lots and lots of dogs when i was walking around. my sister is watching him now, and she says she takes him everywhere with her. believe me, i understand your concern :) now, if i could just get uo to accept me...

i am so excited! let me know what you decide, and if its Oregon, I will show you some of those dog trails...good luck with your decision!!

Hey, I am actually not visiting the school until Thursday. Let me know what you think of the school and area though and Have fun!

I'm not sure what my ill-founded logic was but I guess most of your comments were positive, so thanks. I wasn't the first to compare L&C to a hot girl, I just added onto what someone else had already said. I'm glad that my comments are making this cycle easier for you but I hope that you're laughing with me and not at me. It sucks that we didn't get into Lewis and Clark but I was over them and that's why I didn't want to be on the wait list. How do you like Cambria? I bet it's very beautiful over there. Which school are you leaning towards? They're all in different regions so you'd better decide which one you prefer. My bet is that you're going to Santa Clara because it's closer to home. I actually have an Australian Cattle Dog so I guess your assumption was close enough since they both herd. Do you have a dog? Thanks for your comments, I kind of quit posting on both sites because of the trolls that constantly pick fights with me but now I'm going to come back since several people have thanked me for advice or other comments that I've made.

It sounds like your visit to Denver went well! I just got back from my visit as well. I loved the school also! I drove from Estes Park to Denver twice to check out the school and look for housing, so all I would say about trying to live in Boulder is make sure that you know what driving in heavy traffic on I-25 is like before you make a decision. From my experience, I-25 can be brutal during rush hour. I have driven through Boulder several times and it seems like a great place to live...I would live there during law school but I am afraid of the commute! I am going to live south of the city and take the light rail to class everyday, since DU gives everyone a free pass. Congrats on your decision, and don't let me discourage you from living in Boulder, I just wanted to make sure you understood that traffic is a big issue in Denver.
