While looking at Wikitravel.org, a travel based site, I found myself intrigued when I read the following:
This was/is under the "Learn" section. I find it interesting that even on a travel page law school is mentioned. This is perhaps because of the popularity of law school in today's world. Are there other "World Traveling Law Students" out there?
I can't even begin to imagine going to law school in Puerto Rico. Sitting on the beach between classes, studying for the bar on Vieques or Culebra? Yes, I have been to Puerto Rico, and I must say it's a great place. I can just imagine driving along the Atlantic ocean during spring break with my law books in the back seat as I made my way to Sun Bay to camp and study. What a life, huh?
I can't help but wonder how the legal economy in Puerto Rico is like. It must be pretty decent for the island to have three law schools.
I am not aware that other US territories, such as Guam/Micronesia, have a law school. Maybe some of the students here make it over there. Those are two places that could perhaps use an ABA law school. Perhaps in the future I will make a post about places that should have another law school, or even a law school. For example, the massive state of Montana only has one law school, and it's in the western side of the state. That means if you live in Billings, the largest city in Montana, you have to move hundreds of miles away to go to law school.
With that being said though, Puerto Rico would have been a great place to go to law school. If only I knew Spanish...
"Most universities in Puerto Rico are accredited by US authorities and they offer quality educational programs. Its very easy to find Spanish courses as well as learn to dance salsa. Puerto Rico has 3 ABA-accredited law schools which are very competitive. The University of Puerto Rico Law School is very friendly towards international students and is a great option for foreigners looking for a quality, cheap education (subsidized by the government) that is less than 10 minutes from a beach!"(http://wikitravel.org/en/Puerto_Rico)
