Why Idaho?
My choice mainly centered around cost, and U of I Law is the most affordable, greatest value program I could find. It is also the only school in the state of Idaho and therefore, gives students unprecedented access to every level of the judiciary, from Magistrate court to the Idaho Supreme Court.
What advice would you offer to incoming 1Ls?
Law school is very different from undergraduate programs. Be prepared to switch your way of thinking, your classroom presence, and your approach to academia.
Favorite Moscow recommendation?
There is so much to do at the Student Recreation Center in Moscow. Whether you like pickleball, volleyball, working out, intermural sports, the SRC offers many programs and activities. I found the SRC to be the best way to spend time with friends while also enabling academic excellence through exercise.
