What I love about Columbus, Ohio...
As an avid shopper and coffee lover, I can definitely say that Columbus is a great place to be. Columbus is home to an amazing array of shopping areas, but Easton and Polaris malls in particular are exceptional. Whether you want to shop or people-watch, these are great places for a study break. Columbus is a hotspot for quirky coffee shops, like Stauf's, Impero, and Caffe Apropos just to name a few. They each have unique flavor, and a unique clientele, so you know what to expect when you walk in the door with your law books.
What I love about The Ohio State University...
I love football season at OSU. When you walk outside the law school on game day, there's something in the air. The entire University is buzzing with excitement and activity, and you really feel as though you are part of something important and exceptional. I was never interested in football before, but OSU makes the sport so much fun that you become interested in it.
On a Saturday, you'll find me...
Probably on my couch watching "Say Yes To the Dress" all morning. Eventually, I will feel guilty and make it to the library for a few hours of studying and then a workout at the gym. If it's not too close to finals, I will probably grab a drink or a movie later that night with some law school friends at the Gateway.
The friends I have met in law school are...
My law school friends are very diverse, both culturally and socially. They all come from very interesting backgrounds and force me to look at issues from a different angle. I have definitely grown as a person as a result of my conversations and interactions with law students.
