Why did you choose UB School of Law?  Growing up in Western New York, I have consistently heard about UB’s amazing reputation, both academically and with other important components like inclusivity and integrity. UB School of Law’s continuing success in producing reputable lawyers reflects how much they truly care about their students and their future careers. Their reputation, faculty, and welcoming environment made UB Law an obvious choice.

One piece of advice for accepted students: Make your time at the library valuable! It’s tempting to socialize at the library, but balance your time between breaks and studying efficiently. It’s very helpful to take breaks and recharge, but lock in so that you can go home and have some time to relax!

One fun fact about yourself: I recently visited Germany!
