Two of your first year classes here are capped at under 30 people (legal writing and another class TBD). Even the big 120 person classes at Georgetown are more engaging the classes I visited at other, smaller law schools. Maybe I just have a good section, but there's a lot of class participation. The Professors are engaging and challenging without being adversarial. I picked GULC over some higher ranked, rural schools. Regret = 0

The dean just talks about himself the entire time, does round table group exercises. It is all meaningless, other than creating a buzz about the school.

Seating was comfortable and uncomfortable dependent upon various rooms we accessed. Likewise, regarding climate controls for hot or cold temps per different rooms. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Elevators were functional and could comfortably move groups of approximately 6 per trip. Stairs were also easily accessible. Conference hosted approximately 250 participants and this was a great choice for a venue. Property overall appears well maintained.

Well, it's my alma mater so I have to show some love…read more I know, I know -- the name is off-putting but really it's no different than Georgetown, Villanova, BC or Notre Dame. The campus is probably the biggest of the DC colleges and is almost as nice as Georgetown's. There are several excellent departments there: politics, architecture, music/drama and there's the law school. Socially, the place is loaded with Irish Catholics from the Boston-DC corridor with a large contingent from New Orleans so this can mean only one thing: lots of boozin'! And with a Metro stop right at the campus you can get practically anywhere in town in minutes. The campus and the Brookland neighborhood are much improved since my time there which only made me want to give CUA a higher rating.

I was expecting the campus to be nicer considering all the celebrity alumni and major donors. Not sure of the internal resources for students but the campus needs a little updating. I know some will disagree, but they can/should do better. It's of course a historical reference for African Americans a proud HBCU. I can only imagine the clout of celebrities that walk the campus, my hope is that a wealth of knowledge is shared along with donor dollars. We met some friendly staff whom gave us the overall impression of the campus and having the college in the city adds to the experience. Check it out!

The building is well lit, and the further up you go, the more you'll see of DC. The bathroom arrangements are a bit strange though, with some floors having gender neutral restrooms (meaning that cisgender women have seen cisgender men walking in, while occupying the restroom). Just be aware that their vending machines lean on the healthier side, which makes sense. Public health and all.

Although it may be without typical dorm room hjinks, the Wolpe Center provides Cornell students with a sense of community in Washington DC, where deeps bonds are fostered and intellectual evolution is cultivated. Sometimes when I think back to the room size, I can't believe I lived comfortably with a roommate. Don't get me wrong. As far as dorm rooms are concerned, they are pretty nice. Each room has a private full bath, small kitchen and bunked beds. There are also some common areas that residents can go to study with a plethora of cafes and restaurants nearby to seek additional refuge if need be. I always felt as though the building was fairly secure and everyone knows one another because you're part of the same, small program. Additionally, it can't get much better then rolling out of bed to head downstairs for a three hour lecture. I also remember that all of the staff, mentors and professors were truly engaged, approachable and down-to-earth, which was extremely helpful as we embarked on a major research project throughout the semester. Additionally, the Wolpe Center also doubles as the site of the Cornell Club of Washington. While I'm not terribly involved, I have volunteered in the past with CAAN (Cornell Alumni Admission Network) to help meet and interview local candidate that are currently going through the application process. I remember when I was applying, it was really nice to meet with a local person to get a sense of their experiences. Overall, the Cornell Center and community in Washington DC is extremely warm and professional. If you're ever searching for Cornell resources in Washington, this would be the place to go.

The rooms are very clean and didn't set off my allergies, which is a major plus for me. The neighborhood is really nice, plenty of restaurants and cafes around--I'd recommend checking out the reviews online beforehand to avoid disappointment. Definitely a nice/safe business area of D.C. The triples in this place are nice as well. I only saw one but it had a pretty big living room and bigger kitchen with a full sized oven. Only down-side is that three beds (a bunk bed and a single bed) are squeezed into a fairly small room. Looks somewhat uncomfortable. The studios also have regular twin bunk beds( I believe you can request an extra long twin if you need it), which are all detachable if you don't want to climb up to the top bunk. Overall the rooms are pretty spacious and nice. Very happy with my experience at the center. I'd definitely recommend the Cornell in Washington Program!
