Why? Because neither are considered a T14 law school (i.e. Top 14 law: Harvard, Yale, Stanford ). My advice, if you are considering attending any law school other than a T14, please reconsider. With the legal market being so terrible these days, its Yale or Fail. Don't waste your money.

A colleague once moved institutions and found himself delivering lectures to vast roomfuls of students who didn’t ask questions, or interrupt: “It’s great”, he said “I talk and they listen. I got through a week’s worth of notes in 2 hours”. During my days at uni I was a student in a class with 320 students, and it is very true that there was no room for questions, imagine each one of us asking one question, it would have been impossible for our lecturer to answer them all. The atmosphere in a big class is much different from a small one, the place goes from very noisy when they all walk in to very quite during the lecture to very nosy again when they leave, but non the less is a fun environment to be in.
