Repost: I’m a 1L interested in PW NY office but I heard the summer program last year was incredibly fratty. I also heard about an older associate getting into a messy dating situation with a summer and related issues. Is this an accurate read? Is this what most corporate teams are like in NY? Wondering if I should expect this at every comparable peer firm and therefore disregard it as or take it as an indicator of what my summer and first year class culture will be like?

I heard a summer was hooking up with an associate who was also dating her classmate. Could be the same story but sounded like there was a lot of that.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
