I was in this exact position two years ago choosing between these two law schools. I have since come to Jindal. I think the acadmic exposure is difficult to rival. Of course not all your professors will be stand-outs but theres the fair share of great faculty. If you can afford Jindal, its probably the best place to be; if the finances are a stretch, look into the entrance exam based scholarship (I dont know if the criterias have changed since the shift from the LSAT), but the entrance scholarships are quite generous (upto 75%) and most students here do recieve atleast some financial aid. JGLS also offers a merit/means scholarship once you are here, from the second year onward, but this is capped at a certain amount (1.5L I think). Keep in mind though that scholarships cover only tuition and the housing/dining fee will be the same, and that there will obviously be miscellaneous expenses no matter where you choose to go. Opportunity wise I think Jindal is probably the way to go (atleast in terms of access, exposure, and depending on your merit: placements), but I am sure there is nothing stopping you from doing well at NLUO if you put in the work. If the financial position is extremely precarious, don't take the risk, work hard at the NLU and you will be golden regardless. If you can afford to take the risk, I would say the quality of education and the experience at Jindal is worth it. Someone from NLUO will be a much better bet at telling you how life there is. Hope this helps, all the best!
