Best Facilities

[Stephanie13]

Wash U had pretty awesome facilities.

SMU, not so much.

Very true.

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.

I love Duke's building. I know some people don't like the whole glass-and-steel look, but I really appreciate the abundance of natural light and the clean, uncluttered interior. Modern but classy.

I wasn't terribly disappointed with the facilities there, except with the library. The tree-lined campus as a whole is pretty gorgeous though IMO.

I was really disappointed with Notre Dame's facilities.

Duke's my favorite building. I loved the light. It just felt extremely comfortable. Duke's whole campus is just plain wonderful.

I'd have to throw Penn State into the mix, based on my small number of law school visits. Huge brand new building.. less than 1 year old I believe.

Im looking at WashU, UGA, Emory, William and Mary, Illinois, Wake, and IU. Does anyone have any insight in these schools facilities? Which is the nicest and/or what is nice about each one?

Michigan. The Law Quadrangle looks beautiful.

Definitely. Michigan's Gothic architecture is among the most gorgeous of all law school campuses.

UVA==Amazing. (and I'm just talking about the law school here) Impressive architecture and design, beautiful courtyards and outdoor lawns, wide hallways, beautiful library, standard classrooms, tall ceilings, lots of light and windows. Although it's a fairly large law school, the design makes it feel much smaller.

I wasn't sure how nice it would be when I saw photos of the two large buildings on either side (not as nice looking), but recent renovations make it work really really well.

I was really disappointed with Notre Dame's facilities.

I'm not going to Notre Dame, but I'm curious. Why do you say that?

I just had a lot of Notre Dame love at the time, and as such had high expectations coming in... I thought they'd be more impressive all around. I was looking into a JD/MBA as well, and their business school was equally unimpressive. I went to Michigan for undergrad, so I had assumed they be in the same ballpark. They were not. The entire campus was less aesthetically pleasing than I expected.

Of course... this was all before their new building opened. And I also, like I said, had very high expectations.

This is good news for me, since I was WL'd at ND but accepted to Michigan.

Any thoughts/pics of Emory's campus?

So true. I went to CU for my undergrad. I didn't think I could get in to the law school though with a 2.7/160 though.

[Rand M.]

Any thoughts about Chicago? Other T14ers?

The Law Library is really nice, but the rest of the law school looks very... blah...

Yeah it was really amazing when I visited. I can't imagine any place being much better.
