My Time at Michigan Law
What Makes Michigan Law Special
Michigan Law has an incredibly inclusive and supportive community. I’ve met many kind and reliable professors and students across the Law School. Whenever I have questions, they take the time to answer them thoughtfully and patiently.
The cohesion and enthusiasm on football game days are especially impressive!
My Favorite Class
Transactional Drafting with Professor Kimball. I learned not only technical skills but also valuable life lessons from Professor Kimball.
What Surprised Me Most About Michigan Law
How fat the squirrels in the Law Quad get during the winter, and how bold they are, even coming up to ask for chips.
What the “Michigan Difference” Means to Me
The confidence and determination to remain genuine, patient, and resilient, even in challenging and high-pressure environments. During finals week, many students shared photos of their cute pets to help everyone relieve stress.
Favorite Study Spot
My carrel in the Law Library.
The Best Things About Ann Arbor
People here are very friendly. It’s common for people to greet the driver when getting on or off the bus, and it’s easy to strike up a conversation with locals.

Wandering around the neighborhood and tidying up my room.
