I love it...but how many other law schools have I attended full time . From my experience, the majority of the faculty and fellow students are enthusiastically supportive and collaborative. While, as with any Law School, competition is inherent in the process, it certainly doesn't feel like it dictates your education/experience. As a single father, all faculty and students have been extremely accommodating to me and my son. I have an eight year old that has attended numerous lectures from Civil Procedures to Criminal Law; he'd knockout his "iReady" online classes while I considered affirmative defenses and justifications. I can't speak for traditional students; but as a Veteran, single father, and adult learner (40+ for me), it's been a great experience so far. Pros: overhauled, updated, and expanded facility in 2017. Feels and functionins like a spanking new build with: integrated technologies in the lecture halls, recorded lectures, remote capabilities, and modern aesthetics. Nearly completely self contained facility with the bulk of your administrative, library, and technical services available within the building. Boasts an integrated cafe (Fall/Spring (not summer)) that serves coffee, soups, and sandwiches. The facility is located in the heart of campus with an adjacent parking lot (you rarely need to leave the Law School bubble, but are in a great position to if you choose to explore). Cons: the Law Library gets very toasty in late Spring through early Fall; especially on the third floor . Somebody should have a stern and candid conversation with Mr Stephen Myers. Side note: free snacks can be found throughout the Law School!
