Can any GW students or grads share a bit about your experience?! Forum

[Tyga]

Hey everyone, I am currently trying to decide whether or not to attend GWU but unfortunately will be unable to visit as I am working across the country and cannot take time off. I have a few questions and was hoping some current students or recent graduates would be kind enough to answer them! Seriously, any input would be super helpful and greatly appreciated.

1) I never hear anything about GW's Law campus--is it nice? How are the facilities overall? And how is the library?

2) Does the campus feel cramped with such a large student body?

3) What is the overall vibe amongst the student body? Is GW super competitive and packed w/ gunners, or are students friendly and constantly hanging outside of class, or somewhere in between?

4) How would you rate and describe the social life?

5) What are the job opportunities like? Where do you have to fall to stand a chance for biglaw? Are there abundant opportunities to intern/work in government positions? How about prosecution?

6) How would you rate the quality of professors?

7) And finally, do you feel it is difficult to compete with GULC students for jobs, internships etc?

THANK YOU!!!

I went. No one should go to GW.

I went to a west coast law school, ranked in the 50-65 ranking area, and hated it. I ended up spending my 3L year as a visiting student at GW and externing full time as well, and I LOVED GW. I felt like the Professors were much more available, the staff were friendlier and more helpful, and the location couldn't have been better as I was externing with the DOI.

I would highly recommend attending GW. I really wish I had applied for GW originally. I thrived at GW and greatly appreciate my time there.

Would you mind elaborating a bit on why you feel this way?
