Decisions for Shaun!

Big week this week.  Acceptance letters have been coming in for law schools for Shaun.

Decisions, decisions.

So far: 
USD. University of San Diego.  Right on the coast.  So beautiful. 
Pepperdine.  Yeah.  Up in Malibu.  Can you get more gorgeous? 
Western.  In Fullerton. 
Whittier.  In Costa Mesa. 

He's worked hard and been offered some financial assistance at some of these schools as well.

Still waiting to hear from Chapman.

What do you think?  Weigh in please!  He wants some input.

USD is awesome place, and awesome campus. Applied, interviewed and was accepted there for my masters. It is so beautiful and it is a great school. I have had lots of friends go there for different majors.

Chapman: also great school.

Pepperdine: Awesome school. New lots and lots of people who were in law school there while I was at UCLA. Beautiful location. Draw back: Most of social scene is in l.a./westwood/santa monica. Especially if going to go to a singles ward. My friends that lives in westwood/santa monica hated having to drive in through the canyon to malibu every day for school. But those that lived in malibu hated to have to drive into l.a for church activities/F.H.E/social stuff. Great singles wards in l.a and santa monica. Loved them. Older crowd with high power careers or in grad school. It was what I was looking for at 25 rather than the teeny bopper young adult ward.

Western: Did not know there was one in costa mesa, but there is one in fullerton by CSUF. It doesn't have the best reputation among attorneys that I know. THey say people don't often pass the bar on the first time from there. Have had lots of friends go there and they say you don't get the best jobs upon graduation cause people know the school lost its accredidation a few years ago. Luckily they regained it and never permanently lost it. It was a we are not renewing your accredidation but if you fix things within a year we will give it back to you.

Social scene in norhern O.C. is good. Couple good singles wards. Don't know if he will live at home and commute but I was really interested in the wards where I applied. I figured I would not know people and that was where I would make friends. SO I went and attended wards and scoped out living situations.

Ok too long!
