Best Facilities
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?

Re: Best Facilities
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.

Re: Best Facilities
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.

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

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.

Yale has one of the prettiest campuses in America. Unfortunately that campus is in New Haven, CT.lawyering wrote:I have only seen pictures...but I would have to say...Yale. The gothic architecture is GORGEOUS.

Re: Best Facilities
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.SportsFanatic wrote:Very true.HBK wrote:Wash U had pretty awesome facilities.

Yes, windows are very important to me. I have only visited two law school campuses, NU and ND, and both had excellent facilities.missvik218 wrote:I did a Carolina/DC circuit in the fall.

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

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.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
