Considering DLSU Law

I'm currently studying in UST Faculty of Civil Law and I'll give a fair comparison of the two law schools.

1. Duration
UST has 4 year curriculum while DLSU has 3 years. Therefore, in both schools, I can possibly take the bar exam on 2012.

> Decision Abstain

2. Degree
UST offers L.L.B. degree while DLSU offers the J.D. Honestly, I really don't care about the J.D. vs. the L.L.B. thing. The important is that both degrees can qualify a Filipino Citizen to take the bar exam.

> Decision Abstain

3. Time Established
UST is the oldest law school in the Philippines while DLSU is the newest. The date of establishment is an immaterial area of comparison if where is the better law school.

> Decision Abstain

4. Academic Performance
As of now, I don't have the basis of comparing this because DLSU law school has not yet started its operation.

> Decision Abstain

5. Cost
Obviously, DLSU has higher tuition fee then UST but money is never a factor for me as long as I get the proper education I need.

> Decision Abstain

6. Transportaion
From my residence, DLSU is a lot nearer than UST because DLSU is just a walking distance.

> 1 point for DLSU for that instance

******

It is said that DLSU law will just accept 90 students for next year so the entrance exam is, I think, not an easy one. There are still many factors that are to be considered aside from those mentioned. As of now, I still have no decision if I'll stay in UST or transfer to DLSU. No one really knows what happens next.
