Thomas Jefferson Law School is christening a new campus tomorrow. This is apparently what charging $35k+ in tuition can allow you to do:
The 178,000-square-foot campus will have two outdoor terraces and a student lounge that looks like a round 50's diner. Meeting rooms, a cafe to open this spring and a law clinic will be available to the public."Open to the public" is often a concession made by the facility when taxpayer money has been leached somehow. But for a 50s diner, I'd gladly suffer through the homeless of San Diego who figure that out. Imagine not just reading Brown v. Board, but getting to do it in a place that looks like it should be abuzz with Pleasantville kids chatting about the latest sock hop and the "swell" TVs mommy and daddy just purchased.
Sounds great, doesn't it? For just $13,500, you can experience it as a part-time student!
"This is the most extraordinary law school campus in the nation," said Rudy Hasl, a school dean. "It is designed to facilitate interactions between everyone on campus in a comfortable, collaborative setting. That is the key to success in law school.""[D]esigned to facilitate interactions?" "Comfortable, collaborative setting?" Does this mean it has ROOMS in VARYING SIZES? What an inspired miracle of design!
Also, it has a chevron roof, it's going for gold-level certification by the U.S. Green Council Building, and "is sure to be a landmark in San Diego’s vibrant, exciting East Village where it sits just a few blocks from Petco Park."
For the price of a Cadillac luxury sedan, this fantasy can be yours for two full-time semesters.
Everyone knows that you can't properly study law unless you're sharing a malted with the boy you're pinned to!
