Why not continue my tradition of reviewing libraries? This time, it's an academic library. The…read moreRichardson library, located on DePaul's Lincoln Park Campus, is beautiful and a really great campus space. It was named after John Richardson, DePaul's president from 1981-1993 and chancellor 1993-2017. There are of course plaques honoring him at the entrance, but perhaps my favorite thing is that there's a framed copy of the title page and first page of manuscript of a mixed voice and instrumental piece that was written in his honor. I'd love to hear it played sometime! The library is very large and its four floors are dedicated to varying activity--the first and second are collaborative floors where you can speak regularly, with the third and fourth floor being quiet floors. Lots of windows let in a good deal of natural light, and there are clusters of comfy chairs scattered around the place. There are a few meeting rooms on the first floor, at least, and of course computer workstations available. There are also a few spaces where students can share their work on a larger screen to work from together. Also really cool is the artwork by the faculty of the department of art, media, and design is installed throughout the library. I'm glad that when I was most recently in the library it was spring break and I was the only one there, so I could look at the pieces without bothering others. Staff are very friendly--librarians love to help! During the pandemic (still, anyway, as of March 2022), you must use your ID card in order to swipe into the library.

The staff has done a great job maintaining this building constantly throughout the day. Although WiFi is not offered to the public, the space enables people to get studying or any sort of readings done in test-like conditions. The hours are very flexible and the lighting is stimulating. I think a lot of students and visitors would agree that this library is SUPER COLD during the summer. I bring a north face or a hoodie to cover my body and sensitive ears. It's understandable that's the case to maintain the books but at times, it is a bit unbearable to keep on working. I love the heat they put on during the cold winters!!

You have to go through security in the lobby to get here but it's well worth it. When you enter the building you can ask the person at the information desk how to get to the Law Library and they'll instruct you. Or, if you want to look like you know where you're going just get in line for security (no badge or credentials needed), get on the elevators (the library is on the 29th floor), sign in at the library front desk and find your spot! There's free wifi and outlets available. It says there's a 2hr limit to be here but I really don't think that's enforced.

It is incredibly easy to get to campus and you're very close to tons of law firms, corporate offices, and government buildings which makes networking and externing very accessible. I really liked all of my professors and felt like they were all approachable and invested in my success. I particularly felt like the legal writing program and clinical programs were standout opportunities for me. I was not as happy with career services, but in their defense, they have just added a bunch of new staff who have put in a lot of work to revamp the office. The bar success office is also incredibly. I am so thankful that I had Erin and Kate to guide me through the bar exam process. Admin was also really approachable, in my opinion. I felt like they were very receptive to student feedback and did try to implement changes accordingly. The student success office was great and was really willing to coordinate with me to grant disability accommodations that made class more accessible. Overall, I have been happy with my decision to attend Chicago-Kent. While the school isn't perfect, no school is, and I felt like I was supported by my professors, classmates, and most of the administration.

Very nice building just…read moreon the outskirts of downtown Chicago and right by Union Station for those that ride the train. It is also near a stop on the "L". You can drive and park but it would be expensive. Their facility is a ten-story building with tons of room. Most of the classrooms are laid out like traditional square or rectangle rooms...all seem to have up-to-date technology keeping students plugged in. The lecture and seminar rooms were very nice and on the newish side. The moot courtroom and other specialty rooms were also very nice. It is obvious Chicago-Kent is reinvesting in its property. The law library takes up three floors...from 8 to 10. On the 10th floor is the main reading room...a very large room with a soaring ceiling and a huge glass end fronting the north side of Chicago and letting in tons of natural light. The library has a series of large tables with nice lamps and chairs...students use mostly this reading room and other seating around the library...they really are not a library of carrels for each student. In other areas of the building are all the administration and faculty offices, along with the classrooms. They have a nice large diner on the 3rd floor with a lot of seating. Chicago-Kent is well-ranked in the second-50 tier of schools and the faculty is well regarded. Being so close to downtown Chicago they have the benefit of a lot of experienced lawyers coming in as adjuncts. We were out looking at law schools and stopped by for a visit...even though we showed up unannounced they had an admissions person give us a personal tour...very nice touch. It just showed a welcoming attitude, and a school that is not resting on its laurels. A good choice for a commuter law school in Chicago.

Unfortunately I never finished the last class, but wow, as I thought about it, Steven taught method acting like none other. Pure genius.

Without a doubt, his classes gave me the drive and ambition to pursue my acting career. And thankfully, I've been involved in some really, really, awesome projects. Thanks Steven! Highly Recommended!!!!!!
