    I recently attended an event at this College of Law and wanted to say what a lovely hidden gem it…read moreis. I had never really taken any notice of the building downtown until this past week. I guess one of the organizers for the event had a friend at the college of law, because the event I went to had nothing to do with law or the college. There is a lovely space on the 6th floor that has a large outdoor garden and terrace. Our event was great, but what really made it a fun evening was the space. The garden outside (sorry no photos) has a variety of places to sit and stand. There are potted plants, benches, and it wraps around the building. From the terrace you can see the Toyota Center, and it looks out toward Discovery Green even though you can't see the green itself. You can also see off to EaDo and parts of downtown. If I was given the chance, I would definitely go to or host an event there again. Anywhere with an open rooftop terrace downtown is a winner in my book, especially on a cool breezy February evening!

    Can you really claim that a law school is a business?…read more I guess I'll go with the flow then. It is the oldest law school in Houston and the third oldest (est. 1923) in all of Texas; that's a pretty big feat (everything's bigger in...oh you know) considering the size of this State. South Texas College of Law was one of my top choices of law schools to attend. I had participated in an orientation for prospective students a few months before applying and fell in love with the facilities that this school provided. Their library is extensive, their decor is aesthetically pleasing, and they boast state of the art facilities. First off, the law school is separated into two buildings, the tower and the library. The tower houses all the classrooms and Professor offices; the library portion houses, well, the library and study rooms. I'll start with what makes/breaks the tower side. First off, the rooms are considerably advanced as far as technology. They have flat screen televisions and computers as well as a plug for laptops at each chair in the room. The one negative about the classrooms is that the wireless, for some reason, does not reach for the majority of classrooms. This could be looked as a positive, though, for those who find internet a distraction. The library is a great place, though...at least when you're not having to study. The wireless reaches on every level (once you actually figure out how to get it working) and the study rooms provide a substantial hiding place for extensive studies; most everyone is accommodating to the need for quiet. Each floor of the library has around nine tables complete with lamps that have ethernet plugs and power outlets built into them; the chairs aren't too shabby for comfort either. I love the fact that each floor has walls of windows that look out to the Toyota Center and the hustle & bustle below; this blows other schools out of the water when it comes to libraries (*cough* Rice *cough*, sorry but your library is claustrophobic). The public is allowed to use our library with a valid ID shown to the front desk security. One of my favorite spots in the school is the patio on the roof of the library. It is an amazing place to relax and take in the wonderful weather afforded us every once in awhile in Texas; sometimes you can even find someone talking about topics other than the upcoming finals or law school in general (that is always a relief, who wants to talk about law school while we're standing on top of the law school?) The staff is always willing to work with you on anything you need. They all seem to support you and push to give you everything necessary for a positive atmosphere; Lord knows we law school kids need it! During each finals period the school provides a masseuse that sits in the foyer and gives massages by appointment. The thing that had drawn me to this school is the fact that every lawyer I talk to tells me South Texas not only teaches you the law but it is the only school that teaches you how to be a lawyer. Case in point, the Moot Court team is #1 in the nation with over 100 wins (even over Harvard). If you're going to have to put yourself through hell (a.k.a law school in general) then you might as well attend a school you actually enjoy being in.

    The good- nearby school offering affordable rates on services…read more The bad- lacks black teachers teaching correct procedures on how to create black ethnicity styles.

    In response to the owner, Carolyn - who I have never personally met, I would like to acknowledge…read morethat I openly shared my personal experience in my review, so to call it 'misinformation' sheds light on her as an owner. It is clear to me now how in the dark she is, because I have had a one-on-one sit down with my Phase I instructor, I have had a group sit down with my Phase I instructor, and I also had a personal sit down with the Director of the school herself. I expressed my concerns many times over, sadly the owner lacks communication with her faculty and staff. I hope the school seeks to improve their reports so that in the future, Carolyn may have a productive discussion with the next unhappy student. Carolyn claims to 'take great pride in providing students with the best training possible for them to ace their state exams and obtain their license' yet their pride was nowhere to be found when my LEFT handed shears, which were specifically ordered for me, were there one day, and gone the next. Not only was I missing promised implements personally, but my whole class, and the class before us, were missing the cases to our Chi sponsored Phase II kits. These materials are very much indeed in your and the school's control. I am all for structure and abiding by a dress code, but if it is truly there to protect me, why was I put in a position to buy a pair of socks, or go home? I knew missing a day meant missing hours, but I would much rather give up 5 hours than $5. I knew where my hours went, but I could not say the same about my money. I understand the Director's intentions were to monitor students' dress code, but to press on students like a warden presses on prisoners is completely out of line.
