life in law school
2 Jun 2010, 21:10
i got selected for nlsiu in clat 2010 and will be joining it as well. now, this may seem like a stupid question, but what exactly is life like in nlsiu or any other top nlus (read nalsar/nujs). i can be mentally prepared for it if i have an insiders view on law school life. an objective answer with all the pros and cons will be highly appreciated (with special reference to nlsiu).and in what respects is nlsiu better than nalsar/nujs apart from being older?
