<p>FAMU is a pretty big feeder to Harvard Law and other top law schools. That being said, I don’t think its resources can compete with FSU. The question is, where do you feel at home and where do you think you will thrive? If you truly want to go to FAMU, I don’t think your family’s doubts should stop you. But I don’t think you should go there just because you think it will be easy to get high grades. I don’t think it makes sense to go there unless being part of the HBCU community is going to be rewarding to you.</p>
