Would anyone who visited (or attends) USD law mind sharing their experiences with me?
What do you think about:
1. the campus
2. the classrooms
3. law library
4. parking situation
5. general vibe you get from instructors and other students
6. public transportation/where most students live around campus
7. any other tidbits you think are worth sharing.
I got into USD with a decent scholarship and all signs are pointing to attending if I don't get into my other top choice. However I won't have an opportunity to visit until wayyy late in the summer. I've talked about this with USD Law staff but you know them: always trying to sell the school. Please let me know what YOU thought!

Re: University of San Diego Law- who has visited?
1. the campus - country club like, lots of rich undergrads
2. the classrooms - seem decent
3. law library - seems okay
4. parking situation - just fine
5. general vibe you get from instructors and other students
6. public transportation/where most students live around campus - Public transit isn't. Most people don't live right near the school as that neighborhood isn't the most vibrant. So people spread out a bit, and most drive.

Re: University of San Diego Law- who has visited?
I visited the campus back in April and loved it. The campus is on a hill, and you can see the ocean in the distance. The campus itself was pretty long and narrow. The buildings were really pretty, and I'm not from California, so I definitely like the palm trees everywhere. The law school has 3 different buildings. They aren't super impressive inside, but they seem good enough (much nicer than Pepperdine).
I went for ASD, and the law students I met were all very nice and seemed happy to be at USD. The staff/professors/alumni I talked to were also nice and helpful. They had a mock class for us, and I really liked the professor that led it.
I've heard that most students live off campus in different areas, usually a 5-15 minute drive from campus (although there are 2 graduate housing options on campus). There is a trolley system but I didn't use it/I think you'd have to take it then catch a bus to campus, not sure though. There is parking between one of the law buildings and the law library, and I've been told that if you are there before 8 it is easy to get a spot. There's also a garage about a 5 minute walk away.
