Before choosing to attend Vermont Law, (I looked at and was accepted to 7 other schools). I picked Vermont Law for a number of reasons. First, because of it's standing in the law community, it's history, and it's mission. Secondly, I was looking for a school that I knew would see me as an individual person and help me to make the most of my legal education. This has been a resounding theme from the beginning. Starting from when I dropped into town last minute on a holiday weekend and an admissions rep took the time to give me a tour and answer my questions. The thing that stuck out to me was the approachability of the staff and administration, and the mutual respect I saw between them. Once I decided to come here, when I have had any issues or questions, the administration, staff, academic success staff, professors and even students have been outstanding in their desire to help. Third, before I came here, I created a spreadsheet of the schools I felt would give me the best return on investment that is the best education all things considered. Bottom line - students will get out of their law school experience what they put into it. But, having a school like VLS that is committed to helping you during and after your education will ensure that if you want to go far, you can.
