Choosing Quinnipiac

The Law School at Quinnipiac was always on my list of law schools. I knew that the law school began as a great and respected program in my hometown of Bridgeport, CT. In addition, I learned a great deal from all (and there was a lot) the informational materials I received. But, it wasn't until I attended an open house, that I realized that this truly was a place I could see myself. The Admissions staff was so genuinely interested in me and really nice. At other places, I felt like the staff was trained to be nice in order to get my business. Here, I felt I could probably be comfortable at a time that would be quite stressful. And, honestly, I was right.


Thinking back on my first completed year of law school, the best part of my experience has been interacting with the faculty. I went to a rather large undergraduate institution, so I was used to not knowing many of my professors. During my first year at QU Law, each of my professors knew me by name and treated me as an equal, as a fellow colleague. The faculty provide a level of comfort that allows you to build bonds with them. For instance, my study group for my contracts class met with Prof. Meiklejohn several times over the course of the year. We felt comfortable enough to ask him to take a picture with us, and he agreed. This is one of my treasured memories of my first year at law school. I'm satisfied with my choice, and I look forward to taking advantage of all this school has to offer.
