Berkeley or Miami?

Hi everyone. I have a really tough decision to make. I’m very blessed to have been accepted into Berkeley law (no scholarship info yet), and to have gotten a full ride to U Miami.

• Berkeley or
• UMiami $$$$$$

I’m originally from Miami and would be able to save a lot of money by living back at home during law school. Berkeley would be really expensive.

But I know how important prestige is when it comes to law school. I know how people would do ANYTHING to get into a T14 and I don’t want to give up that chance like that.

I’m going down the public interest law route. I wanted to do Unicorn PI which is why Berkeley excited me. They’re much better for clerkships too. But free law school and a support system at home also sounds really nice.

Edit: I don’t necessarily want to work in Miami long term. I want to keep my options open and prefer a school w/ more national reach!
