Yup. Pretty sure Alexandre gets out a fair amount
He certainly seems to know where to find the best restaurants in a large number of world cities anyway!

OP, I will, however, echo an earlier sentiment of Alexandre’s – acquire the most cost-effective undergrad that you can if money is even remotely an issue. Law is no longer a clear ticket to financial success, and there is something of a “glut” on the market. I know several young talented lawyers who are really suffering due to their astronomical student loans from expensive schools who just can’t generate enough in terms of new billables to rationalize the loan cost!

So I’d be inclined to go in-state, especially when you have a strong U., unless the others offered merit to make costs comparable.
