Students Say
Classes are “small enough” that students feel they can “engage effectively, but large enough that there are always competing points of view.” Though class sizes are small, physical “classrooms are large but feel comfortable” and many have been “recently renovated.” Students find Drake Law “the perfect amount of challenging.” They are “continuously pushed” to their “intellectual limits” and their “academic skills have flourished under the pressure.” Though some professors may be “intimidating” in the classroom, they are “very open to meeting with students” during their office hours, and will “frequently stop and talk with students in the halls.” They “also attend social events so you can get to know them better.” You definitely “get what you put in,” notes one student, but “professors, peers, staff, and administrators always want to help each other.” The school’s administration is “absolutely amazing.” The “staff learns your name right away,” and “it’s very easy to find answers to questions.”
Students also find the location and networking opportunities quite beneficial. Drake is “very in touch with the legal community” and the “opportunities for employment and networking are endless.” Since “Drake Law is situated in a capitol city,” students are “able to obtain internships with state-level governmental entities” and in a “diverse range of businesses and practice fields.” The alumni network is also quite robust. As one student notes, “nearly every lawyer and judge in the area went to Drake, so it has a very strong network.”

Drake University has also recently undergone some major renovations to their facilities to improve student learning and life including the addition of “large, multi-media classrooms, new furniture, podcasted lectures,” and a “large communal area with floor-to-ceiling windows and microwaves and refrigerators to accommodate [students’] busy schedules.” “The classrooms are all technologically modern,” notes one student “and the students have easy access to the most recent research systems.” What the library may lack “in physical sources, it makes up for through online sources.”
