The Best Thing About Michigan Law
The collegiality of the student community. The “Michigan Difference” is due, in large part, to the fact that every student is carefully selected not only based on academic achievements but also on personal qualities.
The Best Thing About Ann Arbor
How different it is from other college towns in the U.S. The Law School campus is as beautiful as it can be, and downtown is really busy and full of activity. There are a variety of things to enjoy here throughout the year (when time permits!). For instance, you can go to a nice restaurant on Main Street, catch a movie at the State Theatre, or walk around Nichols Arboretum.
Why I Chose Michigan Law
The Graduate Admissions Office really made a positive impression on me as I was deciding among other top law schools. The personalized treatment of each applicant and admitted student was incredibly important. Also, I cannot emphasize enough how special it was to be in a small-sized class where I was able to meet every other LLM student.
