Took it twice in DC. First at Univ Maryland College Park which I would not recommend (small table arm chair desks), and a second time at an overflow hotel in the city. It was much more spacious.

I registered for Georgetown location sorry...but my Testmasters instructor stated he took his at American University and it was really nice (a lot of space, good temperature, etc). Good luck!

I highly advise against taking at university of d.c. law. Good Luck finding your dream center :)

GULC. Don't take it at Catholic, you'll hear the campus bells ringing every 15 minutes. It was especially bad at the strike of noon, as it was so loud and boisterous that I was certain the Pope had arrived.

Loved GULC. I was kinda early and our room filled up quickly, and the proctor just started the test. When I took it the first time, we waited for every room to fill up before starting (waited like 30 minutes in my room).

Don't do Howard. Tiny desks and proctors who don't know anything.

What's wrong with Howard? Is it bad enough that I should change locations? :shock:

People just want to avoid those test centers where they don't want to study law. Georgetown may not have as good test arrangements as any other place in DC but because Georgetown is Georgetown people will signup for Georgetown.

Contrary to popular belief in this forum, Howard is a great place to take the LSAT. They are.... a little more "relaxed" when it comes to calling "pencils down."

It couldn't be based on actual experience, could it?

I got assigned this location too. I am kind of sad that I will end up having to travel to MD to take the test. I would much rather stay in VA or the distric.
Good luck to you! :D
