Re: BarBri or Rigos Bar Review

More | Report Post

I'm a law student at SU trying to decide whether to go with
the "ever-reliable"(?) BARBRI or to go for the local company,
Rigos. I've been reading your reviews of barbri and it seems like
people really like the small class room setting that the state prep
course offers. Rigos also offers small classes and one-on-one
attention. But BARBRI seems really structured, an attractive thing
for a law student. I'm torn b/w the tried and true BARBRI or the
smaller local company Rigos. i mean, if BARBRI has worked for so
long, why risk it? comments?
