Just like the Freddy Adu story, everytime Andy gets a chance to mention he's going to one to one of the best schools in America he does
Nah, I just wanted to give an example of how high the tuition is at a Public university.

    to answer the questions:

    Law School was difficult and the only time in my life I didn't **** around ... for fear of being part of the people who will supposedly not be here next year. (that "look around speech..at least someone to your left or right will not be here"..some what true).
    I somehow got into a big school and kept fearing it was a matter of time until they realized what was going on!
    Other friends who attended smaller scale schools said it was not all that bad...
    the reading was torture though

    Fabi: the school I refered to was NYU and Columbia

    Yeah I hear law school is highly competitive. I would love to be a lawyer like my Uncle but I do not know if I have that work-hard mentality and the love for reading. Were you a big reader Nick?

    yes and no...at first it was like pulling fingernails to read cases dating back to the Ex. court in England and grammar barely legible...
    Eventually you learn what to pull out from case law and what is not necessary..but yes over all the reading is heavy. These days I lost all the patience I had then for listening, reading and working ...

    Fabi: old friends would not refer to me as the "bright student"...just the one with a horse-shoe and enough of a brain
