As most of you know, we have decided to try and transfer law schools in order to (1) move closer to the area where we want to be after graduation and (2) graduate from a school with a better reputation.
We have loved our time in California and I have loved Chapman University. We realized that we missed the lifestyle of the south Atlantic region too much and feel that we are not the right fit for the LA/OC lifestyle and cost of living (too much school debt to buy a 3 bedroom house for $700,000).
We will miss our Gates family relatives so very much, but we are glad Heavenly Father made it possible for us to have this year with them. Plus, we are actively recruiting them to move east eventually.
Thus far I have been accepted to transfer to Washington & Lee, University of Richmond, and University of South Carolina. I am very flattered that I have not been denied anywhere as of yet. I also applied to University of Virginia, William & Mary, University of Maryland, and Lewis & Clark (#1 environmental school; located in Oregon).
W&L is ranked 25th in the country and would be a wonderful option. The only schools I would consider over W&L are UVa or William & Mary, but as of now we are preparing ourselves to commit to W&L. This weekend, I will be heading out to Lexington, VA to view the campus and look for a place to live.
