Good reviews

Awesome school. It's got a reputation of not being the same "quality" as some other law schools, but I can't see any other schools drastically topping this one. Little expensive, but if you're going to law school, you should expect to spend money. Great staff, opportunities, activities, and a socially progressive and modern school.

professors are incredible -- very good student-to-student relations/clubs/social gatherings/friendly
it would be nice to have a cafeteria
Overall 4.1
The student body is mostly democratic, if not leaning farther left than that. Most people are nice, there is not a lot of that typical law school drama (people hiding books, etc.). There is still an elitism about the journals though, which I hate and is why I never did journal. But the Profs are good, generally. Lot's to do in the area.
Overall 4
I felt prepared for the bar exam (passed on the first try) and had a job lined up before graduation. I made some great friends. I was afraid law school would be cutthroat like the beginning of Legally Blonde but Albany Law made an effort to foster cooperation among students and I never felt completely lost.

I love this school and the staff who work here. My only real complaint is that there is no food, cafe, or coffee available and the vending machines are always broken.
Overall 4
Really good cafeteria, nice library, nice parking lot, nice class rooms, and free food at events is always good.

Albany Law needs to focus much more on providing a quality and valuable legal education to its students and much less on providing a safe haven and paradise for Left-leaning students and staff.
