Tips from Our Students
“Live downtown. The amount of gas $$$ money you will save with such proximity to the law
school adds up quickly.”
“Different parts of Memphis all have their benefits. Choose whether you want close to school,
more shopping, less traffic, closer to gyms, etc and then start to narrow your list from that. But,
don't count out downtown, it has great opportunities!”
“Ask around. Call 2Ls and 3Ls.”
“A benefit of living so close is that rarely do I have to bring work home. This subtly helps to
keep in balance the two worlds with which every law student struggles.”
“Not living in downtown is really not a big deal at all. It only takes me 10-15 minutes to drive
that direction, and the rent is much cheaper. I found a very quiet, relatively small apartment
complex with Madison East and couldn't be happier. After my first lease was up, they did not
require me to sign a new one, so I am only a month-to-month tenant.”
“Be wary of the noise in the area. Midtown is wonderful, but very noisy with plane traffic.”
“Try to live close to the law school. Commuting 1 hour per day takes away 1 hour of study time.
That may be worth an extra $100/month in the long run.”
“If your family lives here, live at home! No need to waste money (no idea where it would come
from anyway since you can't have a job!) and time. Plus you don't have to waste time cooking,
etc. so you can spend that time studying! (If you have nice parents that cook for you...)”
