Law School Visits: William & Mary

Williamsburg is a beautiful town, and I do like the law school.  It has a neat Bill of Rights program, and the students were friendly.  I sat in on an interesting constitutional law class on affirmative action.  W&M has a few drawbacks- I noticed it doesn’t have as much communal space, compared to the prominent commons areas at other schools.  But overall it’s not a bad place to spend three years.

In spite of that, it wasn’t enough to sway me from UVA.  I can’t articulate an exact reason why.  UVA just has so many opportunities, and I feel that the loan debt will be worth it.  I haven’t made the final decision yet.  Tomorrow I’m going to check out George Washington, and after that I’ll take a few days just to let it marinate.

Update: Duke Law has contacted me with the news that I’m on the waitlist.  I’m just going to pass on that.  There’s no sense changing my plans mid-summer when I can go somewhere just as good on regular admission.
