Top Law Schools

I would like to know what campuses have great facilities, like comfortable and practical classrooms, wireless internet, good library, etc? I have read most of the reviews on Princeton Review, but how accurate are these?

what campuses have great facilities

fa·cil·i·ty
–noun, plural -ties.
....
6. Often, facilities. Informal. a rest room, esp. one for use by the public, as in a theater or restaurant.

I am interested as well!

You might get better responses if you mentioned some of the schools you are looking at. There are a lot of law schools out there.

Well, lets just assume anything in the Top 25, or any other schools that someone may have visited or heard about?

Bump. Thoughts anyone?

just visited stanford two days ago. Classroms looked legit/state of the art. Wireless and all that. Sweet looking library, but the law school building itself looks like shit.

Facilities ranking of schools I recently visited:
1. Indiana (super nice building, awesome library)
2. W&M (great overall, maybe the best but I fell in love with IUB)
3. W&L (nice classrooms)
4. Emory (nice overall)
5. Alabama (good, the library wasn't as nice as some others--very important to me)
6. UGA (awesome library though)
7. Wake Forest
8. Illinois
9. Iowa
10. OSU

One thing I noticed though was that all of these law schools had buildings less than 10 years old, good classrooms, and plenty of computer access. I think it will just come down to personal preference. Sorry, no pictures. I decided not to be that guy.

But OSU is shaped like a ship!!!

Villanova's new building is pretty impressive. GULC probably had the nicest T20 facilities that I've seen. The Supreme Court room is awesome.

Wash U had pretty awesome facilities.

SMU, not so much.

I have only seen pictures...but I would have to say...Yale. The gothic architecture is GORGEOUS.

I did a Carolina/DC circuit in the fall. Duke and UVA were beautiful (I dig lots of windows) Georgetown I didn't love, I didn't have a chance to get to GW, and neither Wake or UNC were very impressive to me.

Very true.

USF had phenomenal facilities

Yale has one of the prettiest campuses in America. Unfortunately that campus is in New Haven, CT.

Most impressive one I have seen in order:

Villanova
PSU
UNC
Wake
American
Temple

Cornell is pretty easy on the eyes too.

UCLA and Univ of Washington

I was really disappointed. I expected them to be way better, considering they're private and charge a bunch in tuition. It looked like the 40 year old philosophy or economics building at the state school I attended.

Edit: .

Michigan. The Law Quadrangle looks beautiful.

Yes, windows are very important to me. I have only visited two law school campuses, NU and ND, and both had excellent facilities.

UCLA's law building is gorgeous. USC's law building not so much. (Concrete horrorshow)
They're both decent on the inside though!

I think this is one of the most accurate statements I have ever seen on TLS

In terms of just the law school facilities, I would say Yale's are stellar. Even the campus though I don't find to be that great--while the gothic architecture is indeed somewhat nice to look at, I find the way the gothic architecture functions within the city blocks to be too forbidding. It's like you have the sidewalk then these huge walls with locks on the gates--I much prefer campuses that have a nice, welcoming feel to them.
