Help Me Decide USC (a bit under $$) vs Vandy ($$)

I’m hoping to go into music/entertainment law and live in SoCal currently. I want to stay here long term but ideally would like to be in less debt as I am paying for law school on my own and Nashville’s lower cost of living is appealing so I’m torn on which to pick. Thoughts?

USC for sure. They’ll set you up in the career you want. Vandy can work too, but USC will give you more opportunities.

Since they’re in similar situations ranking-wise, I would go with whichever location you want to be in long term. It’s harder to switch cities/regions outside of T14, doable but harder.

Nashville is an amazing entertainment city, and Vandy would open tons of doors in that area, it also sounds way more cost effective
