Alessandra Baldini "I chose Syracuse Law because of its national reputation and its large alumni base throughout the country. When I researched potential law schools, I was impressed by the numerous elective, certificate, and joint-degree programs here at Syracuse. I was also interseted in the variety of externships and clinics in which law students can gain hands-on experience. Further, when I visited the law school, I noticed that the professors were approachable and supportive of their students. Unlike many law schools, first year students at Syracuse Law have the opportunity to participate in competitions and can even choose an elective course. Finally, the Upstate New York location provides for many activities outside of the classroom and that was important to me as well." |

Mark O'Brien "I chose Syracuse Law because of its strong national reputation, extensive alumni network, and the opportunities the University offers students. The school has a wide variety of joint degree programs, certificate programs, clinics, pro bono programs, and student organizations. Law students at Syracuse can essentially tailor a program to their interests rathar than feeling limited or pigeonholed in their education. The professors are experienced, welcoming, and engaging, as are the alumni who are spread across the country and around the world. Classmates are friendly and supportive. The College of Law is committed to improving, especially as it prepares to start a new chapter in its history with the new law school building, Dineen Hall. All of these factors were important to me since law school marks a new chapter for me as well. As a non-traditional student who worked for 7 years prior to law school, Syracuse seemed like the complete package." |
