So ya wanna go back?

Above: nasty alumni art always finds its way back to campus...whats with the guy in the top left corner with a brown patch of chest hair? I am proudly wielding a souvenier that I "found".

The game: Law School Orientation

Directions for play: an over-priced private law school takes $120K from you over the course of three years and attempts to make you feel good about this socially-accepted and highly-encouraged form of intstitutional robbery through various tactics.

A) Introducing Law School Dean, Mrs. Brown-Noser- "Congratulations! You have all proved your brilliance in the fact that you are here today as admitted students. Bravo intelligensia extraordinaire!"

B) Be Grateful You're Not One Of Them!- "Hey, you're lucky to have even gotten accepted. We received THOUSANDS of applications this year- you have the selective honor of being one of our students."

C) Look At All You Get- "It is common for students to experience numberous situations in which they encounter free pizza on campus. In fact, there is free food in the hall right now!"

D) We Love You, We Really Do- "Faculty are available anytime to answer your questions. This is a nurturing environment where we really care about you as a whole being. In return for your money we will give you parental love and pretend to care about you."

E) $$$- "Go find some private loans, a relative with deep pockets, and shutup".

The real reason to shell out your soul in order to attend law school: the pretty campus. I went on a quick, self-guided tour. I clearly did not get past the St. Ignatius Chapel:

Best of luck,
