Top Law Schools

saw a similar thread and it was great, but I'd like to narrow it down to just the top schools.

I've never seen it in person, but everyone always mentions how stunningly beautiful the law school at the University of Michigan is. I have a feeling that will probably be at the top or close to the top of most people's lists.

Columbia, no contest.

slamford?

Definitely depends on your aesthetic, but for me:

Architecture at the school was Yale hands down. That place is the epitome of "Ivy Tower".

Surrounding area goes to UVA. The downtown promenade is fantastic, and when I was flying in over the green Virginia Hills, I found it humbly breathtaking.

Other thoughts:

Columbia's main campus is gorgeous (Greek and Roman influences everywhere), but the law building is more modernistic, which gives it a more corporate feel. But if that is too soul-crushing for you, all you have to do is cross the street (over a rather nice bridge I might add).

If you like colonial-style architecture, and I do, UVa may be the best looking place in the world. The law school is a little squatty, but the campus as a whole is absolutely breathtaking.

Always and forever, Michigan.

Yeah Michigan takes the cake

I did this a while back. Thread is 180. http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... lit=campus

Checking in to throw my hat in the Michigan ring.

Say what you will about Michigan Law it is hands down the best looking school.

You definitely seem like an unbiased individual.

I admittedly only saw 3 of the T14, but Michigan was the winner there. I will say the view at Northwestern was spectacular

Mich is nice, but surprised that Cornell gets no vote here.

Exactly

This is the correct answer

.

UVA plus Charlottesville is a hard combination to beat. Harvard Yale Michigan Cornell UVA are the top 5 --hard to choose which is better as all have merit.

Hey at Georgetown we're in spitting distance of a homeless shelter/alcohol rehab clinic. And now that we're also surrounded by permanent construction we have way fewer homeless people than usual camped outside our campus all the time!

Pure Campus goes to Cornell. But weather is a nonstarter. That leaves Michigan and UVA. Michigan's weather is only mildly better than Ithaca, so I'm taking UVA.

I have seen Penn Michigan Georgetown Berkeley UVA Chicago NYU Columbia

Michigan was the nicest. By far IMO.
