12:21
Anybody who went to ASD yesterday have any thoughts?
8:22
I went - it was nice but didn't blow me away, the student ambassadors def seemed to be genuine when they talked about liking the school and having good opportunities & the faculty they involved seemed to be very personable - lmk if you have any specific Qs
11:14
also went^ similar vibes
11:23
That's good to know. Mainly curious about how involved the law school community is together. Like do they see each other outside of classes, community feel type of thing or is it more every man for himself?
11:38
@SHark313: they made it seem like it was incredibly collaborative. You get assigned a small section and that's your study group for the year. Even walking through the lib, there was hardly any people alone. Everyone was studying in a group
12:49
^agreed
14:54
didn't seem incredibly tight knit but students seemed pretty involved in student orgs and I def didn't get any impression of an adversarial or super competitive environment
