Re: “I heard that last year there was even a Touro grad who turned down her acceptance to Harvard. Which clearly proves that Touro is better than Harvard. “
If someone was planning to become a lawyer working within the frum community, rather than “Big Law”, a Harvard (or any Ivy) degree is not such a big help. Paying full tuition and room and board (for a New Yorker going to Harvard) and ending up $250K in debit is in itself problematic, and a “local” law schools (such as Fordham, New York Law School, St. John’s, Brooklyn, etc.) may offer very attrractive tuition discounts, an opportunity to live at home (for free), and a curriculum oriented towards those who plan to practice law in “the real world” of the outer boroughs, small businesses, etc.
