DePaul College of Law

I am really disappointed to say that DePaul has not been a good experience for me. The tuition is really high considering the quality of education and their rankings just dropped, by a lot. During my 1L year, I had 4 good professors and 2 of them have since left DePaul (I haven’t even started my 2L year yet!). On the financial side, they don’t budge on scholarships throughout your time there, so even though I ended up in the top quarter of my class, my scholarship is staying the same, while people I know at the bottom half of my class also have the same scholarships for the entire three years, but their scholarships are more than twice what mine is because they got lucky during admission. …so much for merit. Additionally, DePaul forced us to do something called «Pyramid Points» (yes, I’m serious, this IS law school), which required us to go to various, almost totally pointless, programs that discussed our careers/​networking/​etc. The problem with Pyramid Points isn’t only that they’re largely worthless yet time-​consuming, it’s also that we weren’t told that they were mandatory to register for 2L classes until we had already started school! This is turning into a rant so I will stop now, but if you’re considering DePaul, I recommend you seriously reconsider a few times before you make your decision.
