"I am a first-generation college student, which made coming to law school very intimidating. Once getting acquainted with the faculty and professors, I truly felt like I belonged. The small class sizes have been very beneficial. I find it easier to grasp the material and it allows me the opportunity to build one-on-one relationships with my professors and peers. Washburn Law feels like home!"

"As an older, non-traditional student I am fortunate to have chosen Washburn Law. A native Texan, I have felt welcome in Topeka and Washburn from the first day I walked on campus. The collegial environment fosters real cooperation among the student body, and everyone I interact with daily wants to see everyone succeed, and it shows in their actions. Washburn School of Law has a nationally recognized curriculum, but what sets it apart is how truly welcome the staff, Deans, Professors, and fellow students make you feel. Washburn is like my extended family already!"
