Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law — Local services in Philadelphia

ORIGINAL POST:

I have not yet attended, but even thus far in the process of applying and securing acceptance, I have found their admissions department and even at least one dean to go above and beyond, to give personal attention, and to give helpful answers and results. I shall certainly supplement or update this review post-attendance, but from what I have observed so far, I am very impressed and recommend them as a school of law.

I am now a 3L at Drexel Kline School of Law, and I have been impressed with numerous professors and deans. I am grateful to have attended, and I would recommend this law school. Many of my professors hailed from Harvard, Yale, Univ of Penn, etc., and I feel that most were top-notch and enthusiastic about what they were teaching. Many were genuinely nice, too. I also found administration responsive and helpful (shout out to Dean Gallo here, etc.!) and found that, although this school was newer, that I received a quality education. I chose this school over several in NY and several in PA, and I am very glad that I did and am confident going into the bar that I shall pass and do my small part to help make this rather nascent law school's already rising brand even better!...

The professors in the MLS program are either really good (select few) or some of the laziest people I've ever met in my life, lol. It's so frustrating to work with advisers and the previously mentioned lazy professors it's actually comical. Some professors will not grade discussion boards and others quite literally grade nothing until after the quarter is over -- so you have no idea how well you understand the material and you miss drop / withdraw deadlines because you don't have any grades to go off of. I've learned some interesting stuff, but overall, I could take about 1/4 of the classes required and watch YouTube videos to understand the rest of the information -- this is a masters level program, too. Also, the concentrations aren't really worth it. I dropped the Entrepreneurial / Business one because they weren't law classes, they were busy work heavy MBA classes. Gave two stars because some professors are actually helpful and insightful, provide good...

I enjoyed my time at Drexel and found the atmosphere to be hospitable, challenging, and supportive. The professors were passionate about their respective areas of law, and I graduated feeling prepared for bar studying and eager to get to work.

It's a bit pricey, but they offer great...
