The range of classes and clinical programs is fantastic. Also, the professors are top-notch.
DownersCan be competitive and the first-year classes are very large.
CommentsThe law school is excellent overall and the ability to take classes in a variety of subject-matter areas is great. The clinical programs are some of the best in the country. Also, the range of journals affords many students an opportunity to contribute.
Would You RecommendYes
the courses are definitely pros for choosing GULC. With the good location of the school, a lot of teachers are adjunct professors from various government agencies, ie., SEC, CFTC. This maximizes the depth of the class and experience a student may get.
Downersthe career advisor is definitely a downside in GULC. They only give a general idea and pays little attention to individual student.
CommentsThis is a good school especially when you are seeking to be working in government agencies. And you have to work hard in a greater amount of students and in a little market.
Would You RecommendYes
several kinds of subjects available for students who are interested in learn US laws and legal practices.
DownersLocation: why do we need to study next to Union Station in DC.
CommentsGTU Law is a huge size law school. If you want to study in a small group, you should choose another place. If you want to study in a big class room with many students with several backgrounds, this is for you.
Would You RecommendYes
Professors are very engaged, talented and eager to assist students.
DownersCareer Services Department is a bit lack luster. The GULC network is large and it does not seem that career services is on top of tapping into it.
CommentsIt is highly recommended that you join a clinic, as they are phenomenal at GULC and will introduce you to great professionals.
Would You RecommendYes
Wide variety of class offerings
Students are not competitive with each other
Cafeteria is solid
DownersHuge class sizes
Not much connection with professors
Terrible area in DC
CommentsBe careful if your heart is set on DC biglaw. It is still very difficult to get even out of GULC. NYC (and sometimes secondaries) is significantly easier.
Would You RecommendYes
I like the gym and Hotung library. I like the quality of the Professors. I appreciate the services that the school provides and the student involvement on campus.
DownersI don't like McDonough and the Williams library needs remodeling.
CommentsI would say that it's a competitive environment, but I'm not sure that's something you can escape in law school. I would say it provides a lot of opportunities, if you do well.
Would You RecommendYes
Georgetown offers a unique academic program -- "Section B" -- for those seeking to look beyond the law to sophisticated matters of policy and theory. These first year courses are more rigorous, but offer a phenominal experience for those students interested in truly understanding the origins and effects of the law and legal systems.
Georgetown's clinical programs are also incredibly well developed and diverse, offering students an array of real-world experiences.
The school also has a terrific public interest career services office -- wholly separate from the traditional career services office -- that supports students interested in opportunities, whether professional or personal, to give back.
Quality of LifeMuch has changed and improved since my time as a student.
Nice balance of quality v. practical.
AdmissionsI don't recall. It was a long time ago. But it was the same as every other competitive school I applied to.
