Re: Abraham Lincoln University Law School - Expensive

More | Report Post

Price is one of the best indicators, you have to get bang for your
buck. With so many economical and similar products how can Abraham
Lincoln University School of Law justify the expensive tuition
they charge?

Even with DETC accreditation their students must still sit for the
baby bar and most law firms look down on the online law schools.

ALU is over priced, look at their baby bar and bar pass rates and
you'll see other more reasonable and economical DL law schools
doing about the same.

Plus just because you can "finance" the tuition that does not make
ALU a good deal. Its a superb way to get into financial and credit
trouble.

These days students have to be very careful before over-extending
themselves with student loans, its not free $$$ money. You must
pay back student loans or your credit is ruined.
