A few of our current students share their perspectives on the College of Law at Illinois.
“Law school is undoubtedly challenging and will push you, but the faculty are incredible resources who make you feel supported and confident throughout your journey.”
“I think a lot of my support came from not only my fellow classmates, but also upperclassmen who were willing to sit down, talk, and be a mentor.”
“Illinois has built my confidence in the path that I’m taking, because there’s been a lot of options and I’ve been able to really clearly cultivate my future in that way.”
“You’re on this massive, sprawling campus…but at the same time you’re in this surprisingly intimate, collaborative community.”
“The professors that I’ve met, the support staff, faculty, everybody has been super kind, helpful, and everybody’s super intelligent.”
“Everybody who comes to Illinois Law has a unique way they contribute…and reminds me how valuable diversity is.”
“The faculty is great, and that’s something I value as well, so I feel like I’ve been learning a lot.”
“There are people, professors, and events at Illinois that shape the direction you’re meant to go.”
“My favorite thing is the professors and how they’re the smartest people, but they’re incredibly approachable.”
“You are here to learn the law, but if you keep your eyes and ears open you will learn much more than that.”
“No matter where I want to go, Illinois is a really well-known name and a great school.”
“I know that the professors here are good, they know what they’re doing, and they’re there to help me out.”
“The faculty and staff are dedicated; they not only teach you, but genuinely embrace and support international students like me.”
“During my 1L year I still got to talk to older students and lean on them for support. And it’s because they actually want to see you succeed.”
“The LLM program at Illinois is very welcoming. They welcome students like me who don’t have a law degree.”
