@joe. I went to university of southern California where the tuition is $50,000 and it's known to be the school of rich kids. UCLA is actually our neighbor and rivary school so I don't think especially UCLA would want to help us out.
I haven't started studying for LSAT yet but from past experience of studying for university classes I have found Western Classical Music to be a great cognitive enhancer.
They offer it at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale but I wouldn't recommend it for you. The desks are super small, my LSAT was like some kinda lecture room with a tiny desk! (I am a leftie too) So I struggled with not enough space at all.
If I could come back to CA, I would love to, but if not, staying in Illinois is fine, too. I didn't finish all the last 36 preptests, so I still have some pristine tests to study on. Wish me luck! and thank you for all your comments!
