It’s sooo crazy I found your channel from Twitter, I clicked because I really want to go to Columbia for law school. It’s so crazy that I’m from houston also and I’m going to Clark in the fall!
Can you guys make a video addressing law school attire ? It’s a weird subject but in the videos I watch I see a lot of business casual outfits worn in class, and I wanted to know if this is the norm.. lol
Hey Denise! This is something I was confused about before law school too. Unlike what you see on tv, the attire is casual (jeans and a top are fine). I put a little more thought into my outfits now than I did in undergrad (I would pull up to morning classes in sweats and not care lol) but no one is ever in slacks or anything like that unless they have an interview. --Angel
Woot woohoo! Spelman College, I graduated high school in 2017 with a 4.1 GPA, I’m currently finishing my freshman year at Howard University. I’m from N.C. so i have visited Duke, and I was accepted to Spelman. You guys are so beautiful 😍😭 how old are you?
Thank you! And congratulations on all of your accomplishments. You were almost my Spelman sister 😔, but Howard is also a great choice. We're both 24. - Sam
That was fun (and a wee bit nostalgic for an...er, older grad). What’s the second building you guys went to the “boring” class in? During our time, all law school classes were at Jerome Greene (and mo, we didn’t call it “JG” 😂). Cheers 🥂
You girls are doing great! Almost done one more semester right!!! Could you tell me like what time classes normally are and if you get like fall winter and spring breaks?
Thank You! Yes, we officially finished this semester on Friday! Classes run throughout the entire day. However, with the exception of legal writing, I have noticed that only upper-level classes, electives, and seminars are held in the evenings. We have a winter and spring break. Finals usually end around December 20th, and school doesn't start back up until after MLK day. This semester, the last day of finals is December 19th. Spring break is from March 18-22. The entire academic calendar is available online. www.law.columbia.edu/academic-calendar - Sam
I heard the same thing from tons of people, most of whom were non-lawyers, before I started. It depends on the person and how well you can triage and strike the perfect work-life balance. I love law school. When I was allowed to choose my courses, I loved almost every class, and I have met some amazing people. It has also afforded me opportunities that I wouldn't have in most other fields. That said, I know a number of people who hate law school and think that it is the worst decisions they have ever made. - Sam
It means we did not take a break between undergrad and law school. Sam went to a HBCU in undergrad, but we talked a little more about our decision process in this video ua-cam.com/video/gA4l73OMXy8/v-deo.html And yessss living in New York is so hard! It looks way more fun on tv and instagram than it actually is in real life lol. It was a hard adjustment for me. --Angel

Is law school hell ???? Because I want to go but everyone keeps saying it was the worst time of their life

What does “go straight threw” mean also how come neither of you went to HBUCs? Is living in New York difficult with the noise and traffic ?
It means we did not take a break between undergrad and law school. Sam went to a HBCU in undergrad, but we talked a little more about our decision process in this video ua-cam.com/video/gA4l73OMXy8/v-deo.html
