鈥淭he facilities themselves are good, especially for such a small school,鈥 and 鈥渃lassrooms are equipped with up-to-date technology.鈥 While it's not in the most attractive or state of the art building鈥he campus as a whole is quite beautiful and homey,鈥 one student observes. Another says 鈥淪ydney Lewis Hall is a 1970s monstrosity,鈥 but 鈥渢he administration is making a concerted effort to renovate the building.鈥 One benefit of Washington and Lee鈥檚 facilities is that every student has 鈥渢heir own study carrel鈥 in the 鈥渁mazing鈥 library. Like the building itself, these carrels may be 鈥渁 bit old (and cold),鈥 but are still a luxury that not every law school affords. As a 1L explains, 鈥淟aw school is not a walk in the park but W&L makes it as nice as it can be, in a lot of ways.鈥
Students give high ratings to the staff, saying 鈥渆veryone from the cafeteria employees to the dean of the school is phenomenal.鈥 鈥淭he administration is extremely caring and helpful,鈥 but 鈥渢he faculty are head and shoulders above the administration.鈥 Students say the biggest strength of the school is the 鈥渢eachers, teachers, and teachers.鈥 The 鈥渂rilliant鈥 professors at W&L are 鈥渆xtremely accessible鈥 with a 鈥渟trict open-door policy that gives the entire school a community feel.鈥 There could be more 鈥渄iversity among professors鈥 though, and the administration 鈥淸sells] more parking passes than there are parking spots.鈥 On the downside, 鈥淭he Office of Career Planning is widely regarded as an unhelpful place.鈥 Professors use 鈥渢he Socratic method, and classes have always been an environment of tolerance.鈥 鈥淚f you want to stay anywhere near sane during law school, this is the place to go,鈥 a 1L concludes.
