I did and really liked it. The URM community is small, but everyone I met, URM or not, seemed very inclusive. That they had an entire day dedicated to diversity students left a really great impression. The community was the most laid back, non competitive, and straight forward I've seen. They attribute this to the fact that since most people have work and real life experience, they can better handle the stress of law school. The Dean is my favorite of all I've met (if that matters)...reminds me of a Rahm Emanuel and Chris Christie mix

. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
