I got admitted to BC and BU in American Law with a scholarship over 20'000 (for BU). Do you have any advice? Which law school seems to be better?

BC without scholarship vs BU with 20k,

It just seems like BC is a great and friendly law school with a beautiful campus. BU on the other hand seems to be huge and less friendly. Courses are almost the same...

If I got such an amount of money from BU, I would go to BU between the two.
$20,000 is a lot of money, especially in this economy.

Do you know anything about the quality of the LLM programs?

Those should be the numbers of each school's JD students.
BU has a much bigger LL.M. student body.

I'm not sure. Maybe JD classes are smaller, but you have to attend two classes with only LLM students.

I believe, that the size of LL.M really matters. I was advised that as regards Banking&Financial Law ALL LL.M calsses are held separately. J.D. students can attend them, but subject to the places availbale and just as visiting students. That means that LL.M class of app. 45 students for the Banking&Financial Law is pretty much a small size LL.M program which implies that sudents are able to take an active part in the educational process.
This is what differs it from many other programs and was the most importnant factor personally for me.
Unfortunetely, I do not know anything about the BC.
Good luck!

There will be events and activities only for LL.M. students as well as only for J.D. students.
If the class size is small, you would have a better chance to get to know each other well and to get more personal attention from your school. On the other hand, with a big class size, you would have more people to get to know.

I have just finished LLM at BC you could write to me with any specific Q you got

yeah , thats right. LLM is new at BC. This year they are taking 26 and it is going to be the 3rd year. Except for 1 we shared all the courses and the classes with JDS. ( up to 28 credits). It is a general LLM b but you could focus on whatever that interests you. The director of LLM at BC is the former director of LLM at Harvard. you could read my post about my experience with LLM at BC

Hello. I have gotten accepted into Boston University's LL.M. program in American Law for Fall 2012 and BC's LL.M. program. I am very confused between both choices. So much research has been done between the two that I was hooked up on going to BU given its overall name and reputation. However, I just received a 10K scholarship from BC. Now, I am not sure what to do. BC is a good law school as well, but why do people always say "BU" is the way to go? Please help me. I need to make a decision soon and it seems BC is the way to go???

Could someone please kindly give a response to my previous inquiry? I have to make a decision by June 14. Thank you.
