got three years of school for just over thirty K! They went a few years back and it's gone up a bit since then but still cheap, nonetheless ... http://mslaw.edu/affordable-tuition/ They paid for half, financed half, pretty much, and were able to do it without too much stress.

Nowadays, the tuition is thirteen grand a year (see link)--they don't rip people off at that place. I think the people who run it are straight shooters--the dean thinks the ABA is not playing fair, to put it mildly, judging by some of the info on the school's webpage.

Like I said, the guys I know are very loyal to the place--they invite me to their 'alumni golf outings' every now and again to fill out a foursome even though I suck at golf. I have yet to hear anyone gripe that they didn't think they got their money's worth.
