[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to WCL, and I enjoyed it and think it prepared me well. 
But this shit is just stupid. Moving to tenleytown was a good idea because student and faculty retention was affected by the distance from the metro. But law students need classrooms with lights and outlets, and that is about it. I will never give them any money because they clearly can't spend it wisely. [/quote]

Agree 100%[/quote]

Yes +1. My WCL friends tend to live in other parts of NW so the trek from Dupont or Columbia Heights is a royal pain, especially with crappy bus and Metro service to an isolated campus on the Maryland state line.

However, PP nailed it with "edifice complex". My European colleagues are stunned at the luxuries and extravagance that have become status quo on American campuses both at the undergrad and graduate levels. State of the art buildings, flat screen TVs in dorm lounges, rock climbing walls, luxury gyms and over the top, round the clock gourmet meal options in dining halls, to name a few. Add in a small army of diversity deans, administrators extracurricular advisers and other busybodies making $60k+ a year and yet people wonder why college costs are off the charts. A recent study said that the number of these support staff at the undergrad level nationwide has just about doubled since the early 90s. I wonder if the same is true for law schools and other graduate programs.[/quote]
