0L (in high and mighty voice): I'm going to be a professor at a T14 school. As a percentage, how many students does Michigan place as professors at T14 schools strait out of law school?
Prof (in irony laden voice): About 0.8%. T14 schools usually hire between 0-2 new professors strait from law school each year.
That was one of my favorites, too.

Overall I thought it was great. They really shared a lot of information in a short amount of time. Highlights for me included the Faculty Panel and the Career Services session. Also really enjoyed the mock class (Torts w/ Clark) and the real class (Con Law w/ Primus). I didn't find the housing panel particularly helpful unless you are planning on living in the Lawyers Club (who on TLS wants to fess up to starting the conversation on having a fear of walking to the showers in a towel?).
If you're on here, please out yourself.
The CCRB has squash courts, racquet courts, three full size basketball courts, a pool, a volleyball court, decent weight/cardio rooms, etc.. The IMSB has four more full size basketball courts, a pool, weight/cardio rooms, etc.. The NCRB has two more basketball courts, racquetball courts, a pool, multiple weight rooms, an indoor running track, saunas, etc..

You've all talked a lot about the close-knit community and how that fosters a better learning environment. But, what if you don't want that kind of experience.

Best moment ever!

If you're talking about the girl at the alumni panel, I do think she meant more the college town atmosphere than everyone being friends. I met her a couple of times throughout the weekend and she didn't really come off like that in a small group, and especially for older students I can understand wondering about that. (Of course, if you're talking about someone else I must have missed that question and never mind me) The towel girl was kind of silly; I was thinking "is it just that hard to wear your pajamas or something to the shower if you're so worried?"JRMjr wrote:after that question (and the crickets) I imagined Dean Z thinking "god, I hope we didn't give her money to come here.

CCRB and NCRB are the Central Campus and North Campus Recreational Buildings. The NCRB is up by the engineering campus, and is a little bit of a drive (or bus ride), though I think it's newer/nicer with possibly later hours. The CCRB is the one of the two in walking distance from the law quad. From my understanding, those have your weight rooms, basketball and volleyball courts, swimming pool, etc. The IMSB is the Intramural Sports Building. It has much of the same stuff, though I think's it's older, and is pretty close to the law quad.nixxers wrote:::weeps with joy:: I can't wait to get to a school with half-decent athletic facilities... but what are the CCRB/IMSB/NCRB?Helmholtz wrote:The CCRB has squash courts, racquet courts, three full size basketball courts, a pool, a volleyball court, decent weight/cardio rooms, etc..

What was the theme? We get a bar night instead of a Phid party; I'm not sure how I feel about that...thalassocrat wrote:I kind of wish I'd known about the theme so I could put something together.Helmholtz wrote:haha, yeah, the phid party was fun, although there are large chunks of time from that night that I just don't rememberthalassocrat wrote: Overall I loved Preview Weekend.

And for the lodges or w/e do I need to schedule that in advance?
Don't know what you mean by the lodges, but to get housing, if i remember correctly you had to specify whether you wanted to stay in the discounted hotel rooms when you registered for the ASW.Now there's a charge.
