Debt going into Law School...

<p>How much debt (ie. loans from undergraduate private school) would be a reasonable amount to carry over going into law school? (Ideally I know the answer should be $0 or as close to it as possible but I know that that can’t always be the case).</p>

<p>That’s very important information, sybbie.</p>

<p>I think that anyone with college loan debt (or other debts, such as from credit cards) should at least consider taking a year or two off after college and before law school to work and pay down those debts.</p>
