How is everyone making out in their respective law schools? Has anyone had a change in opinion or have new comments?

I will be attending Southern in the Fall and I am excited about what awaits me. However, I am still up in arms about the ranking and whatnot. In this area, Southern has a GREAT reputation, but I am just concerned about the future. Southern has a good program and I know that I won't have any trouble finding a job here once I graduate, but I am just trying to look at the big picture.

I know that I don't want to make any hasty decisions until I actually immerse myself in the work and meet other students and graduates. However, I am tossing around the fact that I may want to eventually transfer. I originally wanted to attend Howard, but it was (financially) out of the question. Loyola and Tulane are also options, but I sort of wanted that HBCU experience. I am not second guessing my decision to attend SULC, but with searching other sites and reading this thread, it seems as though if you don't go to a top 15 or Howard in particular, you are doomed. I would love to work for a big law firm. I would love a 6 figure salary (I'll even take a HIGH 5 figure). Eventually I would like to open my own firm.

What else, if anything, have you learned about law school, post-graduate job prospects, etc. now that more time has passed?
