Moved to correct forum.

You can join a study group if you want to - you have to find your own, they're not organized by the school. And social life in law school is probably like social life anywhere for very shy students. That's not meant to sound snarky - it'll just be whatever you make of it, and will depend on who's in your class. You're thrown together with the same bunch of people for a lot of time each week, so to that extent you don't have to go out of your way to meet people. There will be lots of chances to socialize if you want to take them.

If you're in a large enough metro area, I guess you can hang out with 50-year old men "looking to experiment with nudism" and obese women looking to be live-in girlfriends on craigslist.

Yes, there are study groups. But don't join a study group.

Year after year, why do presumably fully functioning adults seem to regress to not knowing how to do things they've done since kindergarten because lawl school? C'mon, guys.

:arrow: Is it possible to form a study group in every other type of school?
:arrow: What is it like for shy people to socialize in every other context?
:arrow: Will any of this change your plan to go to law school?
:arrow: What are the pros and cons of study groups generally?

Search within yourselves. You already know the answers.

I was tempted but went the new age guru route instead.
