A quick definition of usura velata:

Term: USURA VELATA

Definition: Usura velata is a Latin term that refers to veiled or concealed usury. This occurs when a creditor adds usurious interest to the principal sum as if it were part of the original loan. It is considered a deceptive practice and is illegal in many countries.

A more thorough explanation:

Usura velata is a Latin term that refers to veiled or concealed usury. It is a practice where a creditor adds usurious interest to the principal sum as if it were part of the original loan.

For example, if a person borrows $1000 from a lender, and the lender charges an additional $200 as interest, but presents it as a fee or a service charge, it is considered usura velata. The borrower may not realize that they are paying an exorbitant amount of interest, and the lender is taking advantage of their ignorance.

Another example of usura velata is when a lender offers a loan with a low-interest rate, but includes hidden fees and charges that increase the overall cost of the loan. The borrower may not be aware of these additional costs, and the lender benefits from the extra money they receive.

Usura velata is a deceptive practice that takes advantage of borrowers who are not aware of the true cost of their loans. It is a form of usury that is disguised as legitimate business practices. The examples illustrate how lenders can use hidden fees and charges to increase their profits, while borrowers are left with a higher debt burden than they anticipated.

Though you should look at the alumni and employment outcomes for Seton Hall, they may place more people in NYC than you'd think

When Infinite Jest came out Walter Kirn said, “The competition has been obliterated. It's as though Paul Bunyan had joined the NFL, or Wittgenstein had gone on Jeopardy! The novel is that colossally disruptive. And that spectacularly good.”

@JupitersMoons: do not suggest rejected and REJECTED to people lmfao
@DigiFartHoe: true to form, I feel like that's an ice cold take? If someone doesn't want to live somewhere where they have a good offer, and their profile doesn't necessarily indicate that they have gotten into another school in that area they would want to live, retaking and reapplying is an extremely valid option to present to them
22:07
@DigiFartHoe: leave the side tings be, babe, you are off the clock now, they can fend for themselves
If someone decides halfway, or more than halfway into a cycle that they know where they want to live, they didn't apply there, and they don't think the schools they have applied to will get them there, considering if this cycle is for them is an option, no? I've had people tell me to R&R for the exact same wisdom and reasoning, as I am a late applicant who isn't 100% sure that the school they got into is their favorite choice. Knowing that you can R&R is just providing someone with more information so they can make an informed decision, imo
Also, quote where I say they should R&R. I actually went out of my way to look at the school and provide extra information and/or questions to ask that would encourage them not to R&R
smh I need to go home

@JupitersMoons: most it is just "wait a year to get more money" when if you do a financial analysis you are farrrrrr better off just going

@llama: so true, bestie
i appreciate u jupiters
I am just trying to make the best decision
@OrganicAcridWizard: ur welcome and as stated previously, not an oracle. Make the decision that you are comfortable with, and what is to happen is to happen. Law school is bound to be an extremely stressful time in your life, and no amount of money will change you being desperately unhappy because of where you geographically reside. If living in NYC will make you happier, I think that is a completely valid reason to R&R. If you're like me, however, and are just desperately afraid of the unknown, get more familiar with the school and the region and the stats and the people. Do research and make it feel less alien to you.
been trying to research. would have about 60k debt minimum from COL, and would need to relocate over 1000 miles
Digi is this forum's equivalent of a troll under the bridge: cranky, gross, and should be widely disregarded. If the pessimism wasn't deterrent enough, the sexism, slurs, and likely fake account should suffice.
but I think I could get to NYC for work from there and no tuition so hey
Literally damn close to same story with me. Huge scholarship, but 2,000 miles. Middle of nowhere school, population 7,000. Have no connections to the state, but hey, they place big law in DC and NY, and are giving me the most bang for my buck right now. I've gotten so much more comfortable with W&L by browsing the subreddit for testimonials, reaching out to current students on LinkedIn, and even making random connections with people in the state.

Full send it, unless hesitant, imo. Life goes so quick.

Else R&R but make a plan, determine what is important to you, determine your options, write them down, make a flow chart. U got it
