Advice for Prospective Law Students:
Celebrate small wins throughout your legal journey. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the bigger steps you need to take, but each assignment submitted, or argument presented are victories in themselves.

Having access to the University Park undergraduate campus’ facilities! (Gyms, Sporting events, Libraries, etc.)

On Choosing a Law School:
The school you choose will be your home for the next three years. Apart from academics, consider the community, people, and programs within your prospective schools. Ensure your choice is somewhere you can see yourself not only thriving inside the classroom, but also somewhere you’ll be happy outside of it too.
