Advice

Don’t let other people’s apprehension and anxiety about law school psych you out. Law school isn’t for everyone, but if you know that it is something that you are interested in, go for it. When you get to law school, don’t get so consumed with studying that you forget about the world around you – there’s more to life than case law and the library. Lastly, never let anyone tell you what is or is not good for you, whether it be choosing to participate in a dual-degree program, traveling abroad for one of the exchange programs, or participating in certain organizations – it’s your life, live it for you, do what will make YOU happy!
