Was out watching the NCAA tourney at...someone's house. Pretty much all guys (surprise surprise). And hanging around with the 1L's didn't give me any particular insights as to the law school itself (they just finished briefs and are thus unwinding)...
However, it did give me a bit of insight as to the general attitude of people around here.
People are nice, and fairly welcoming, but definitely have that East Coast vibe that I really don't dig much. I think the big thing that gets me is the bit of a derisive attitude when I tell people my other top choice is the University of Washington. The conversation usually goes like this:
"Here and Washington."
"Like St. Louis?"
"No, Washington state."
"Oh. Why Washington?"

It's not outright disapproving by any means, but I still get that "why would you apply out there?" feel.

I really wish I had gotten this sort of experience at UW, just so I would have something to compare to.
You know what I also wish? That U of M hadn't waitlisted me. And that UCLA would finally give me an answer.

Could be they're honestly just curious. Who knows. An answer from UCLA would be nice.

Waaaaaashington!!! *\o/*

(why would one NOT apply to place in the PNW? It's so very superior!)

You know I've got my pompoms out, but that shouldn't affect your decision at all, seriously.
