I went in the early 90s.... maybe 5K a semester if I recall.

Wow! I graduated in 2010 and it was about 36k per year but I just checked and now it's over 43k.

Hell, the tuition for my undergraduate degree was $6,900 when I started in 2006 and one decade later it is $11,700. The perks of having a governor who hates education. Luckily my MS was grant funded and my PhD was paid for due to my employment...otherwise I would've been much less likely to get them.

As for the Law School topic at hand, Cincinnati has been dropping like an anvil lately...they were top 5p back when I started at Cincinnati, but now I don't even think they're top 75. The move downtown will likely help move that ranking in the right direction again.

UC Law jumped 22 spots and is back up to 60 this year. I have no idea how that's even possible.

When I was at UC in mid 90's it was like #50 and #1 in Ohio. How did they drop sp much?!

They lost quite a few endowed faculty positions that were filled with very well-reputed professors of Law nationally. Also, their Dean was a diversity hire...if that tells you anything. Their bar passage rate has fallen off a cliff as well, down to 83.8% from its high in 2009 of 93.2%. They're fifth in Ohio (behind Ohio State, Akron, Capital, and Toledo in that ordsr), which should show you quite a bit about the state of Law (and new practitioners of it) in the State of Ohio. Only one schools passes more than 86% of their students...that's down from 7 back in 2006. Things could always be worse; only 61.7% of Dayton Law grads passed the Ohio Bar this past year...yeesh.

The move downtown will aid in % employed which is a legitimate variable in rankings calculations, thus why I assume that move will move our ranking up.

As for our national rank this year, I've seen #79 and #82 on the sources I typically use for collegiate ranking.

Are you sure about that? I'm seeing #82.

The full list hasn't been officially released this year. #82 was last year. UC jumped 22 spots to #60 this year, according to this:

From my experience most doctors want their kids to become lawyers and most lawyers want their kids to become doctors. Both sides think the other has an easier row to hoe when in actually right now both tracks are tough sledding.

College isn't more expensive because more people are going, its more expensive because there's a rat race to land your brat with parking garages, dorms with private bathrooms for freshman, sushi rolls, pilates classes, covered walkways, bowling alleys, movie theaters, and in some cases, freaking maid service.

Exactly, don't forget granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. It is an arms race and we all (students and/or parents) are the losers.

UC's rec center has a lazy river - a must for any academic environment.

Remarkably, the lazy river building is considered "green."

I've seen UC's cheer and dance teams. A lazy river might be a good recruiting tool but it'd be UC would be cheaper if you'd just jump into the Ohio...

So the graduate school rankings come out and the law school jumps 22 spots in one year. How does that happen? But it's not just the law school - nursing rose 26 spots; physical therapy, 35; audiology,11; mba and fine arts each up 7.

I'm happy about this, but this kind of movement is a head scratcher.

Congratulations on the jump!

I couldn't help but snickering at this little tidbit from the article "It also looks like Villanova is shedding its past scandals as it continues to move up in the rankings. Before you know it, the school will be back to where it once was when it was faking its median LSAT scores and GPAs for entering students."

SMU, Temple, and Houston all saw their rankings increase. Tulane held their spot. Once the rest of the list comes out, I'll be curious to see if Connecticut can sneak up closer to the 50 mark. They're not far from it.

The ATL rankings that came out yesterday have high rankings for AAC schools as well...Temple, Houston, SMU, Tulane and Tulsa were all top 50. The only other non P5 top 50 schools not counting the Harvards of course, (Harvard was #1) were New Mexico, BYU and Akron. cheers!
