I went to BUSL. In my experience, there's practically no difference between the two when it comes to practice opportunities in Boston.

Certain firms may have small biases towards one or the other in their summer and subsequent hiring, but not so noticeable that one schoool jumps out as better than the other. For example, I summered at a major Boston law firm. In my class were 4 BUSL 2nd years, 3 BC 2nd years, 8 Harvard 2nd years, and 1 from each from Northeastern and Suffolk. There were about another 16-18 summer associates, from places like Penn, Columbia, Chicago, etc. etc. And all of us got offers that summer.

It may matter to you that BUSL has plans to build a new facility eventually, and having seen the plans I can tell you it will be absolutely gorgeous. It may matter to you that BU is ultimately a city school while BC has more of a campus. It may matter to you that BU's faculty is regarded almost universally as "better".

I can tell you that I loved my 3 years at BUSL (well, at least as much as anyone can love 3 years of law school.)

If you want to know anything else, please feel free to PM me. Good luck.

Unlike BC, BU also won't routinely fuck up your bracket.
