Why FIU Law?

I chose FIU Law because its smaller community offers a more personalized learning experience, where I can truly engage with professors and classmates instead of feeling lost in a large crowd. From the moment I stepped on campus for a tour, the warm, welcoming attitude of the staff and students stood out to me. That supportive, friendly environment hasn’t wavered, making me feel like I belong here. Beyond the community aspect, the school’s outstanding bar passage rate, which is the highest in Florida, solidified my decision, as I wanted to be confident that my education would set me up for future success in my legal career.

My favorite thing about FIU Law?

My favorite thing about FIU Law is that it’s a small, close-knit community where everyone is genuinely willing to help out fellow students. The support and camaraderie here makes it an exceptional place to learn and grow, both personally and academically.
