2010VERIFIED STUDENT
Academics

Teachers do a very poor job of teaching the material. Half my exams were not representative of the material covered in class. Professors like to use books that aren't extremely popular among other law schools -- hence less study aids and no supplementals keyed to those books.

I learned nothing in Legal Writing. It was a weekly 1 hour slideshow. I could have just downloaded and read through the slides myself in about 10 minutes.

Quality of Life

The facilities are so poor even the professors complain about them. One classroom I had a class in had ZERO acoustics, and even though the room fit only 50 people we couldn't hear each other speak without the aid of microphones. When it was hot out the heaters would run, and when it was cold out the heaters wouldn't run. The main conference room, the law schools showcase, is falling apart. I was afraid for my safety.
