Hey everyone,

Im in a dilemma. Insight into either option, and which option to choose?

Option A - choose a law school in the state I want to work and live in, North Carolina, and take on the debt that would come with that.

Or Option B - attend a public university, UIUC, and have my tuition paid for in full via the National Guard ING benefit(no law school debt), and risk not being to find a law firm in North Carolina after graduating. (assuming I get a 270+ on the Illinois bar exam that would allow for a smooth transition to NC practice).

Next piece of data, I am getting my MCS at UIUC currently and will be graduating Summer 2027.

Thank you for your help!
