ty!! i got $$.5 so it was a no brainer
@LawOfAchilles: i think, if the CoA is similar, it depends maybe on where you want to practice? If you want to end up practicing in Omaha, maybe Iowa is better?

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really

@LawOfAchilles: if you like the outdoors, you're gonna love bloomington.
both uiowa and iu have a good reputation, especially with midwestern law firms. their alumni resources are pretty top notch too.
