I'm from sacramento but never even knew there was a law school there! It looks like a pretty good one too, although I wonder about the oak park thing, in sacramento oak park has two parts the majority being a bit ghetto. I assume this campus is in the other side, which is a beautifully landscaped area with big houses, I'm surprised I never heard of McGeorge!

McGeorge is a great school, one thing I really enjoyed about attending this school is the community. The classes are hard, thats a given, but when the teachers are understanding and supportive and your fellow peers are encouraged to help one another out it tends to help relieve some of the stress. I ran into a bunch of problems while attending school, all personal things that came up, but the teachers were more than willing to help me stay in school, even when I wanted to give up! One of the professors even showed up at my house when I missed several days of school, I was impressed and motivated by this.
