Hi guys!
Wow it has been FOREVER!
The last post was me telling you guys that B and I would be moving down south. Well things have changed quite a bit sense then.
B and I left for Charleston on Wednesday bright and early (2:30 am to be exact!) we were so excited and the trip was not bad at all, we listened to the first Harry Potter book on disc, did some crossword puzzles and took in the beautiful mountains. After 10 hours we had finally made it to Charleston! We were drained and tried but excited all at the same time.
We figured we would go straight to the school check it out and then go explore downtown Charleston.
When we got to the school it was nothing like the brochure, it was spread out throughout the town (which was not in a very safe part of town), and the officials in charge were not really sure where to point us, or where to direct us, or what to tell us about the school.
B and I were so looking forward to this trip and finding this school and just falling in love with the town and the school. We fell in love with the town, but not the school. Sense the trip B and I have been talking and talking and talking and talking about all the options, we finally came down to a decision, and that is to stay at Dayton Law School. We really wanted Charleston to work out, but it would not be the right decision for us as a family.
Like I said, we fell in love with the town and the beaches and I can’t wait to post about those adventures, but for right now I think I am going to end this post.
I will be back to regular posting this week!

Was he transferring to Charleston Law? If so you’re probably doing the right thing by staying at your other school because Charleston Law is being sold right now and most of the original founders have left the board and want nothing to do with the school (keep in mind it was just founded maybe 8-9 years ago so it’s not like they were there for 20-30 years). I heard it was being sold to a for-profit, diploma mill type group of law schools? It’s been all over the news here and people don’t like it.
I’m glad you enjoyed your visit though, if you really like it here maybe you can move here once he’s done with school :).
Thanks so much for all of that information! I will totally be passing it on to B! I had no idea any of that was happening and nothing was told to us when we were visiting, which makes the decision so much better now! We have talked about moving down afterwards and it is our number one goal!

Those are the two articles. I love Charleston… I love to see people move here… but ultimately if his career will be in law you are making the best decision NOT to come here for this school. I have a few friends who went there and are doing law, but it’s their family’s practice, things like that. And they’ve both been out a few years, but this sale might really tarnish the school’s reputation in general.
I have been sharing everything with him and we both really appreciate everything you have sent us. It has been so helpful!! We loved Charleston as well, but education is much more important than location at the moment and we are so glad we went with our first initially instinct about the school. Thank you so much again for all of your help!
That’s a bummer it didn’t work out how you envisioned it. That’s always disappointing. I think everything happens for a reason though and you’ll probably wind up just as happy where you are. You don’t have to stay there forever if you don’t want to! 🙂
Yes I totally agree about not staying where we are forever! The dream is south and we will be there some day!! 🙂
