I am a 1L at Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Texas Southern U. and I like it. I went to a really competitive pred. white undergrad institution and I wanted the change. I think the differences so far in the types of school have been positive. Of course, there are the few irritations that I have had to endure, such as the financial aid officers being "less than helpful" and a few other administrative snaffoos that I don't recall having to deal with in undergrad, nevertheless, I am glad I made the choice to go here.
I absolutely LOVE all of my professors. Like Howard, I would presume, (and other HBCU law school, I just don't have much info on them) we have the best of the best of black legal scholars who not only have a lot to teach you from the techincal standpoint, but have a wealth of historical information to share as well. For example, one of the 1L professors, not my prof though, litigated alongside Thurgood Marshall for the young man who integrated Ole Miss ( I believe that was the school, forgive my misinformation)Anyway, there are quite a few well-known professors at my school and it is really exciting to be their student.
Parking is the same here, but most of us have figured out a few tricks to getting around it, like getting to campus at the crack of dawn!
So, even with it's drawbacks, the good definitely outweighs the bad...not to mention the FINEST intelligent black men I get to see and work with everyday!!
