Why W&L Law?

Throughout the admissions processes, W&L stood out to me as a school that had everything I was looking for. I came from a small undergraduate institution, which was extremely valuable to my education and experience as a whole. W&L prioritizes a tight-knit community and unique opportunities for every student to be involved in. The collaborative environment that W&L fosters is something that I am genuinely so excited to be involved in.

What is the most adventurous thing you have done?:

I participated in a mini study abroad program, where I studied theatre in Ireland and London!

I love taking fitness classes, such as Barre and Pilates. I hope to continue this as a way to stay healthy and reduce any stress I may be feeling!
