WOW! My state university law school (top tier) charges $13,000 per year tuition
and you graduate in 3 years with an ABA degree. Now 3 x 13,000 = $39,000 or 4 x
$7,000 = $28,000 I don't know about you but for $11,000 difference I'll go ABA
(actually I did and graduated last year). Plus you can borrow every dime of
tuition and living expenses for a low rate (just over 5% APR) from SallieMae and
not be charged any interest until you graduate.

There is no financial advantage to online schools. You graduate a year earlier
from an ABA school which will more than make up for any difference in cost by
giving you an extra year of work as an attorney.

DL is foolish if not totally incompetent.
