on things that take you by utter suprize, even though you're the one who decided them.
So I never thought I would hear myself saying this but, if I dont hear back good things from UCLA, UCS, and UCI then I will be attentding Pepperdine law school next fall. Isnt that freaking crazy. I guess it just shows how important it is to go and look at the campuses before you decide. I went to Loyola to visit and tour and I just didnt get that great of a feeling about it, I didnt like the campus very much, and the people just didnt seem that smart, to be quite frank. I left feeling that I could go there and be ok, but not feeling that I really WANTED to go there. Then that same week I went and visited pepperdine. First of all the campus is GORGEOUS. but that isnt why I liked it so much. The people just seemed to be a different level, smarter, nicer, better. I got a great vibe from the whole place.
I asked a bunch of questions, even to the campus democrats society, and was assured that not being conserative and christian would not be a problem either in classes or socially. They even said that when they had the debates on prop 8, the student body was pretty much split down the middle on the issue. And they have the number 1, even above harvard, dispute resolution program in the country. so thats kind of cool because that might be something that Id be interested in going into.
also pepperdine's faculty has been rated number 1 for 3 years now by the princeton review for having the most accesible faculty. the students we talked to kept emphasizing how supportive, nurturing, and helpful all the professors were.
so yeah. its weird. and im still a little nervous about the whole conservative/christian thing. but im also excited to know that I will still be happy with where I am going, even if I dont get into those other schools. yup. its crazy how different things turn out sometimes.
