Law school is not undergrad

This is driving me CRAZY in fics, and I know it's because law is an undergrad degree in most of the British commonwealth...but not in the United States. Matt and Foggy would have had to get a four-year bachelor's degree in something else (political science + English is a really common pre-law combo, and THEN gone to law school for graduate school). The scene where they meet in the dorm is almost certainly undergrad, because law schools only contain law classes, not things like Punjabi. Also, although some law schools have student housing, the vast majority of law students live off campus (which would probably include NYC natives like Matt and Foggy).

Foggy's course registration screen says Fall 2010, but there's no way that timeline works out. Even if they went straight from undergrad to law school, they would've needed a minimum of 7 years so their freshmen year would have been 2008 at the earliest.
