UW's draw for certain law-bound individuals is the fact that it's the top-ranked law library program in the country.

BYU I think moved up a couple of spots in the rankings this year.

UW is not all that more expensive than BYU and the same as Utah (for out of state). But I am guessing the cost of living in Seattle is quite a bit higher.

Law is a waste of time anyway, IMO.

If you don't value lawyers you're no self-respecting civil libertarian.

I noticed that among medical schools Baylor is in free fall. No. 17 in both research (what really counts) and primary care. What's up with that? By the way, UW is no. 6 in research and no. 1 in primary care.

Waters, your medical school and your college are both plummeting in the rankings. That can't possibly be mere conincidence.

So what's the argument? Diminishing chronological proximity to Waters has a negative effect on one's intellectual prowess?

at least I only paid $6500 in tuition my entire time in med school.

Most lawyers I've met hate their work. And no they aren't fighting for any "liberties" or "fighting the man" or "helping the oppressed" or anything like that.

They are doing drudgery for the man and they hate it and hate themselves.

My dad retires from there and the rankings improve? That can't be good.
