While 鈥渢he LLM programs bring in students from all across the county and the world to our campus,鈥 students still feel that 鈥渙ne of the downfalls is the lack of much racial/religious diversity.鈥 But the friendly atmosphere and 鈥渟ocial life enables students to work hard at studying but also enjoy Norman鈥檚 famous Campus Corner.鈥 The OU Law campus is 鈥渃lose enough to main campus that it has the university vibe, but far enough away that we are sheltered from all those undergrads.鈥 Ample parking makes it 鈥渆asy to access,鈥 and 鈥済reat amenities and resources like twenty-four-hour printing and the Amicus Cafe鈥 keep students keep students productive. Administrators make it easy for students to organize study or group activities. 鈥淎ny organization or group of students can reserve any classroom, study room, conference room, or even court room with ease.鈥 Local distractions like the 鈥淣orman Music Festival, the Huge Renaissance Fair, and local music and art scenes in Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas ensure there is never a shortage of various study breaks.鈥
